Ingredients
  

For the Sticky Rice
  • 1 cup glutinous rice Use premium Thai sticky rice for best texture.
  • 1 cup coconut milk Opt for high-quality organic coconut milk.
  • 1/4 cup sugar Consider swappable for lower glycemic options.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Mango Topping
  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced Ensure mangoes are ripe but not overripe.
  • sesame seeds Optional for garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak it in water for 3-4 hours or overnight.
  2. Drain the rice and place it in a bamboo steamer lined with cheesecloth. Steam for about 20-25 minutes, or until tender and sticky.
Coconut Sauce
  1. In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt over medium heat. Stir gently until dissolved without boiling.
Assembly
  1. Transfer the cooked rice to a mixing bowl and pour 1/2 cup of the coconut sauce over it. Gently stir until every grain is coated and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  2. To serve, mold the sticky rice into a mound, top with fresh mango slices, and drizzle with remaining coconut sauce. Garnish with roasted sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

For the best experience, serve warm with chilled mango. This dessert can be made ahead; keep rice and mango separate until serving.
