Method
Preparation
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Begin by rinsing the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch.
- 2
Soak the Rice
Soak the rinsed rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- 3
Prepare the Coconut Sauce
In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat gently over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Do not boil. Reserve 1/4 cup of this mixture for drizzling later.
- 4
Cook the Rice
Drain the soaked rice and place it in a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth. Steam the rice for about 20-25 minutes, or until it becomes tender and sticky.
- 5
Combine Rice with Coconut Sauce
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a mixing bowl and pour the remaining coconut sauce over it. Stir well to combine and let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Serving

Prepare the Mango
While the rice is resting, peel, seed, and slice the ripe mango into thin wedges.
- 7
Plate the Dish
To serve, place a portion of the sticky rice on a plate, arrange the mango slices beside it, and drizzle the reserved coconut sauce over the top.

Add Optional Toppings
Sprinkle sesame seeds or mung beans on top for added texture and flavor, if desired.
