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: Steam the soaked rice in a bamboo steamer or a steaming basket over boiling water for 20 minutes. Remove and fluff the rice gently.
  3. Step 3: In a saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups coconut milk, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling (about 5 minutes).
  4. Step 4: Pour 3/4 of the hot coconut milk mixture over the steamed rice, stir gently, cover, and let it absorb for 20 minutes until creamy.
  5. Step 5: To serve, place a portion of the coconut sticky rice on a plate, top with slices from 1 large ripe mango, and drizzle with the remaining coconut milk mixture. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
