Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by rinsing the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear, about 2-3 minutes. Then, transfer the rice to a bowl and submerge it in water for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- After soaking, drain the rice and place it in a heatproof bowl lined with cheesecloth or in a bamboo steamer. Bring a pot of water to a boil and steam the rice for 20-25 minutes until tender and sticky.
- While the rice is steaming, combine the full-fat coconut milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan over low heat. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves completely without boiling.
- Once the sticky rice is cooked, pour 1 cup of the warm coconut sauce over it, mixing gently to ensure the rice absorbs the flavors. Allow it to cool slightly.
- To serve, scoop the sticky rice onto a plate and arrange sliced ripe mangoes alongside. Drizzle the remaining coconut sauce over the top and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds for garnish.
Notes
Soaking the rice is critical for achieving the perfect chewy texture. Choose ripe mangoes for the best sweetness.
