Method
- Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Soak the rinsed rice in water for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible.
- Drain the soaked rice and place it in a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth.
- Steam over simmering water for about 25-30 minutes until tender.
- While the rice is cooking, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir until the sugar dissolves, making sure not to boil the mixture.
- Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and pour about 1 cup of the coconut sauce over it.
- Mix gently to combine, then let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- While the rice is resting, peel and slice the ripe mangoes into thin pieces.
- To serve, spoon some sticky rice onto a plate and arrange the mango slices beside it.
- Drizzle additional coconut sauce over the top for an extra indulgent touch.
- Top with sesame seeds or mung beans for a little crunch.
Notes
This dessert is delightful on its own but pairs beautifully with various accompaniments.
