Instructions
- Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup glutinous rice flour with 1/2 cup warm water, stirring until a smooth, pliable dough forms. Knead for 2 minutes until elastic.
- Step 2: Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a disk and place about 1 tbsp diced ripe mango in the center. Fold the dough around the mango and seal completely, forming smooth dumplings.
- Step 3: Bring a large pot of water to a gentle boil. Add the dumplings and cook for 6-7 minutes until they float to the surface and are tender.
- Step 4: While the dumplings cook, in a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup coconut cream, 3 tbsp sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt. Warm over low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves and sauce is fragrant.
- Step 5: Drain dumplings and transfer to serving dishes. Drizzle with warm coconut cream sauce and sprinkle 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds on top.
