Instructions

  1. Step 1: Rinse 1 cup glutinous sticky rice under cold water until water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  2. Step 2: Drain the soaked rice and steam it in a bamboo steamer or a steaming basket over boiling water for 20-25 minutes until soft and translucent, stirring gently halfway through.
  3. Step 3: While rice steams, combine 1 1/4 cups coconut milk, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves, then remove from heat.
  4. Step 4: Transfer the steamed sticky rice to a large bowl and pour 1 cup of the warm coconut milk mixture over it. Stir gently and cover the bowl, letting the rice absorb the coconut milk for 20 minutes.
  5. Step 5: To serve, place a generous scoop of sticky rice on a plate, arrange slices from 1 large peeled mango alongside, and drizzle with the remaining coconut milk mixture. Sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over the top for a nutty finish.
