Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup glutinous sticky rice
  • 1 1/2 cups coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 ripe mangoes peeled and sliced
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds or mung beans for garnish

Method
 

  1. Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and ensures that the rice cooks evenly.
  2. Soak the rinsed rice in water for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best results. Drain the rice when ready to cook.
  3. In a steaming apparatus or bamboo steamer lined with cheesecloth, steam the soaked rice over boiling water for about 25-30 minutes, or until the grains become tender and sticky.
  4. While the rice is steaming, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, but do not bring it to a boil.
  5. Reserve 1/3 cup of the coconut mixture for drizzling later, and pour the remaining coconut mixture over the hot cooked rice. Stir gently to combine, allowing the rice to absorb the flavors.
  6. Let the rice sit for about 10-15 minutes to fully absorb the coconut milk.
  7. To serve, scoop a portion of the sticky rice onto a plate, top it with sliced mango, and drizzle with the reserved coconut mixture. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds or mung beans on top for added texture and flavor.
