Instructions

  1. Step 1: Rinse 1 cup glutinous sticky rice under cold water until water runs clear. Soak rice in 1 cup water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  2. Step 2: Drain soaked rice and steam in a bamboo or metal steamer lined with cheesecloth over boiling water for 20 minutes. Stir rice halfway to ensure even cooking.
  3. Step 3: While rice steams, combine 1 cup coconut milk, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until sugar dissolves and coconut milk is warm but not boiling.
  4. Step 4: Transfer steamed rice to a bowl and pour 3/4 of the warm coconut milk mixture over it. Gently stir to combine, cover, and let rice absorb the coconut milk for 20 minutes until creamy.
  5. Step 5: Arrange slices of 2 ripe peeled mangoes on serving plates. Spoon warm sticky rice alongside mango, drizzle with remaining coconut sauce, and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds on top.
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately for a sweet, fragrant, and luscious Vietnamese dessert experience.
