Instructions
- Step 1: Rinse 1 cup glutinous rice under cold water until water runs clear. Soak rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture.
- Step 2: Drain soaked rice and transfer to a medium pot with 1 1/4 cups fresh water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes until water is absorbed and rice is tender.
- Step 3: In a separate saucepan, combine 1 cup coconut milk, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves and mixture is hot but not boiling.
- Step 4: Pour 3/4 of the coconut milk mixture over the cooked sticky rice, stirring gently to combine. Cover and let sit for 20 minutes to allow rice to absorb the coconut flavor.
- Step 5: To serve, spoon sticky rice onto plates, top with sliced 1 large ripe mango, drizzle with remaining coconut milk sauce, and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 1 tbsp toasted shredded coconut for added texture and aroma.
