Ingredients
  

Sticky Rice
  • 1 cup glutinous rice soaked for at least 4 hours or overnight
Coconut Sauce
  • 1 cup coconut milk preferably unsweetened
  • 1/4 cup sugar adjust to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Mango
  • 2 ripe mangoes peeled and sliced

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted, optional

Method
 

Prepare Sticky Rice
  1. 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. Drain the rice and place it in a steamer lined with cheesecloth. Steam the rice for about 30 minutes until tender.
Make Coconut Sauce
  1. In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, but do not boil.
  2. Reserve 1/4 cup of the coconut sauce for drizzling later.
Combine and Serve
  1. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a mixing bowl and pour the remaining coconut sauce over it. Stir to combine and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
  2. To serve, place a portion of the sticky rice on a serving dish, top with sliced mango, and drizzle with reserved coconut sauce. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds if desired.
