Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup glutinous (sticky) rice
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 1/2 cups coconut milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds or mung beans (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Rinse the glutinous rice several times until the water runs clear. Soak in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Drain the rice and steam it in a cheesecloth-lined steamer basket for 20-25 minutes or until tender.
- While the rice is steaming, combine coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then remove from heat. Do not boil.
- When the rice is done, transfer it to a bowl and pour about 1 cup of the sweetened coconut milk over it. Mix well and let it sit for 20-30 minutes to absorb the liquid.
- To serve, place a portion of the sticky rice on a plate, arrange mango slices beside it, and drizzle with additional coconut milk. Garnish with sesame seeds or mung beans if desired.
Notes
- Use only glutinous or sticky rice, not regular rice.
- Choose ripe, sweet mangoes for the best flavor.
- The coconut milk mixture should be warm but not boiling when mixed with the rice.
