Instructions

  1. Step 1: Rinse 1 cup glutinous sticky rice under cold water until water runs clear. Soak rice in water for 4 hours, then drain.
  2. Step 2: Steam the soaked rice in a bamboo steamer or steamer basket lined with cheesecloth over boiling water for 20-25 minutes until translucent and tender.
  3. Step 3: While rice steams, combine 1 cup coconut milk and 1/3 cup sugar in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is warm but not boiling, about 5 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Transfer the steamed sticky rice to a bowl and pour 3/4 cup of the warm coconut milk mixture over it. Stir gently, cover, and let it absorb for 20 minutes until creamy.
  5. Step 5: Serve the sticky rice with 1 large ripe mango peeled and sliced alongside, drizzling remaining coconut sauce on top.
