Method
Prepare the Sticky Rice

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

Steam the Rice
Drain the soaked rice and place it in a steamer lined with cheesecloth. Steam the rice for about 30-40 minutes, or until it's tender and sticky.

Mix with Sticky Rice
Once the sticky rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and pour half of the coconut sauce over it. Mix well and let it sit for about 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Prepare the Mango Topping
- 5
Slice Mango
Peel and slice the ripe mangoes into thin strips or wedges, discarding the pit.

Toast Almonds
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the almonds until golden brown, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
