Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sticky Rice

    Rinse the sticky rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain the rice.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sticky Rice

    Steam the soaked sticky rice in a bamboo steamer or a heatproof dish over boiling water for about 30-40 minutes until tender.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Coconut Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Reserve about 1/4 cup of this mixture for serving.

  4. 4

    Mix Rice with Coconut Sauce

    Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a mixing bowl and pour the remaining coconut sauce over it. Mix well and let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Mango

    While the rice is resting, peel and slice the fresh mangoes.

  6. 6

    Serve

    On a serving plate, place a portion of the sticky rice. Top with fresh mango slices and drizzle with the reserved coconut sauce. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
