Ingredients

• 1 cup glutinous rice
• 1 1/2 cups coconut milk
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 large, peeled and sliced ripe mango
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

1. Step 1: Rinse 1 cup glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight, then drain.
2. Step 2: In a medium saucepan, combine the soaked rice with 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed and rice is tender.
3. Step 3: While rice cooks, warm 1 1/2 cups coconut milk in a separate saucepan over medium heat. Stir in 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 tsp salt until dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
4. Step 4: Pour two-thirds of the sweetened coconut milk over the cooked sticky rice. Stir gently, cover, and let it absorb the coconut milk for 20 minutes off heat.
5. Step 5: To serve, spoon the sticky rice onto plates, arrange slices from 1 large ripe peeled mango alongside, and drizzle with remaining coconut milk. Sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds on top for a nutty finish.
