Sticky Rice

Coconut Sauce

Mango

Method

Preparing Sticky Rice

  1. 1

    Rinsing the Rice

    In a bowl, rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming too sticky.

  2. 2

    Soaking the Rice

    Soak the rinsed rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture.

  3. 3

    Cooking the Rice

    Drain the soaked rice and place it in a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth. Steam the rice for about 25-30 minutes, or until tender and sticky.

Making Coconut Sauce

  1. 4

    Mixing Ingredients

    In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, but do not let it boil.

  2. 5

    Combining with Rice

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

Preparing Mango

  1. 6

    Slicing the Mango

    Peel the ripe mangoes and cut them into thin slices or cubes. Make sure to remove the pit.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plating the Dish

    Serve the sticky rice on a plate, topped with the sliced mango. Drizzle the remaining coconut sauce over the top, and enjoy!
