Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation of Sticky Rice

  1. 1

    Soak the Rice

    Rinse 1 cup of glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Steam the Rice

    After soaking, drain the rice and place it in a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel. Steam the rice for about 30-40 minutes until it is translucent and tender.

Coconut Sauce Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Coconut Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of coconut milk, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, and reserve half of the sauce for drizzling later.

Combining Ingredients

  1. 4

    Mix the Rice with Coconut Sauce

    Once the rice is done steaming, transfer it to a large bowl. Pour the coconut sauce mixture over the hot rice and stir gently to combine. Let it sit for about 15-20 minutes to allow the rice to absorb the flavors.

Serving

  1. 5

    Prepare the Mango

    While the rice is absorbing the coconut sauce, peel and slice the ripe mangoes into thin strips.

  2. 6

    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. Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds or mung beans for garnish.

  3. 7

    Enjoy!

    Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your delicious mango sticky rice!
