Method
Preparation
- 1
Rinse the rice
Place the glutinous rice in a large bowl and rinse it under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch.
- 2
Soak the rice
After rinsing, soak the rice in enough water to cover it for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight. This will help the rice to cook evenly.
Cooking
- 3
Drain and cook
Once soaked, drain the rice and place it in a steamer lined with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel. Steam over boiling water for about 20-30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and sticky.
- 4
Prepare the coconut sauce
In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, but do not bring to a boil.
- 5
Combine rice and sauce
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and pour half of the coconut sauce over it. Gently mix to combine and let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Serving
- 6
Plate the sticky rice
Using a spoon, scoop the sticky rice onto serving plates.
- 7
Garnish and serve
Drizzle the remaining coconut sauce over the rice, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve with sliced mango on the side.
