Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare 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.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    Drain the soaked rice and steam it in a bamboo or metal steamer lined with cheesecloth for about 30 minutes, or until tender.

  3. 3

    Prepare Coconut Sauce

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

  4. 4

    Combine Rice and Sauce

    Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and pour about two-thirds of the coconut sauce over the rice. Mix well and let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavor.

  5. 5

    Prepare Mango

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    To serve, place a portion of sticky rice on a plate, top with mango slices, and drizzle the remaining coconut sauce over the top. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or mung beans for garnish.
