  • Author: Jasmine
  • Total Time: 4 hours 30 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Sticky Rice:

    • 1 cup glutinous rice (also called sticky rice or sweet rice)

    • 1 ½ cups water (for soaking)

    • 1 cup coconut milk

    • ½ cup granulated sugar

    • ½ teaspoon salt

  • For the Coconut Sauce:

    • ½ cup coconut milk

    • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

    • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • For Serving:

    • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced

    • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds or mung beans (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

Step 1: Soak the Rice

  1. Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. Soak the rice in 1 ½ cups of water for at least 4 hours or overnight. This step ensures the rice becomes sticky and tender when cooked.

Step 2: Steam the Rice

  1. Drain the soaked rice and place it in a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel.
  2. Steam the rice over boiling water for 20-25 minutes, or until the grains are translucent and tender.

Step 3: Prepare the Coconut Milk Mixture

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of coconut milk, ½ cup sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Do not let it boil.

Step 4: Combine Rice and Coconut Milk

  1. Transfer the steamed rice to a mixing bowl.
  2. Pour the warm coconut milk mixture over the rice and gently fold it in. Let the rice absorb the liquid for 15-20 minutes.

Step 5: Make the Coconut Sauce

  1. In the same saucepan, combine ½ cup coconut milk, 2 tablespoons sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  2. Heat the mixture until warm and well-combined. Set aside for drizzling.

Step 6: Prepare the Mangoes

  1. Peel and slice the mangoes into thin, even pieces.
  2. Step 7: Assemble and Serve
  3. Place a portion of the sticky rice on a plate.
  4. Arrange the mango slices beside the rice.
  5. Drizzle the coconut sauce over the rice and mangoes.
  6. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds or mung beans if desired.
