Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Rinse the Rice
In a bowl, rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
- 2
Soak the Rice
Soak the rinsed rice in water for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
- 3
Prepare the Coconut Sauce
In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Do not let it boil. Reserve half of the sauce for serving.
Cooking
- 4
Steam the Rice
Drain the soaked rice and place it in a steamer lined with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel. Steam the rice for about 30-40 minutes, until it's tender and sticky.
- 5
Combine with Coconut Sauce
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and pour in the warm coconut sauce (not the reserved portion). Mix well and let it sit for about 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Serving
- 6
Prepare the Mango
While the rice is resting, peel and slice the fresh mango into thin strips.

Plate the Dish
To serve, place a portion of the sticky rice on a plate, arrange the mango slices next to it, and drizzle the reserved coconut sauce on top. If desired, garnish with sesame seeds or mung beans.
