Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup glutinous (sticky) rice
- 1 1/2 cups coconut milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds or mung beans (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse the sticky rice until the water runs clear, then soak it in water for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Drain the rice and steam it in a bamboo steamer or a steaming basket over boiling water for 20–25 minutes until tender.
- While the rice is steaming, heat the coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Do not boil.
- Transfer the cooked sticky rice to a bowl and gradually stir in about 3/4 of the coconut milk mixture. Cover and let the rice absorb the coconut milk for 15–20 minutes.
- To serve, place a portion of sticky rice on a plate, arrange mango slices on the side, and drizzle the remaining coconut milk over the top.
- Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds or mung beans if desired. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For an extra touch, garnish with fresh mint leaves or a drizzle of coconut cream to enhance the richness.
