Prepare the Rice
Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak it in water for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Cook the Rice
Drain the soaked rice and place it in a steamer lined with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel. Steam the rice over boiling water for about 30-40 minutes until tender.

Prepare the Coconut Sauce
In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Cook over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Do not boil.

Combine Rice and Coconut Sauce
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Pour half of the coconut sauce over the rice and mix gently. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Serve the Dish
To serve, place a portion of the sticky rice on a plate, drizzle with the remaining coconut sauce, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. If desired, serve with sliced fresh mango.
