Method
Preparation of Sticky Rice
- 1
Rinse the Sticky Rice
Rinse 1 cup of sweet sticky rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.

Soak the Sticky Rice
Soak the rinsed sticky rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- 3
Steam the Sticky Rice
Drain the soaked rice and place it in a steamer lined with cheesecloth. Steam over boiling water for about 25-30 minutes until the rice is translucent and cooked through.

Combine Coconut Milk and Ingredients
In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of coconut milk, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved, but do not boil.

Mix with Sticky Rice
Once the sticky rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and pour the coconut mixture over it. Stir gently to combine and let it sit for about 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preparing the Mango

Slice the Mango
While the sticky rice is resting, peel and slice the ripe mangoes into thin wedges.
Serving
