Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This may take 3-4 washes. Once rinsed, soak the rice in water for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible.
Drain the soaked glutinous rice and transfer it to a steamer lined with cheesecloth or a thin clean cloth. If you have a pandan leaf, place it on top of the rice for added fragrance.
Steam the rice over medium heat for about 25-30 minutes or until the rice is tender and translucent. Check periodically to ensure it is cooked evenly.
In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk, granulated sugar, and salt. Heat over low-medium heat, stirring gently until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is well combined. Do not let it boil.
Once the rice is fully cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Gradually pour half of the coconut milk mixture over the warm rice, stirring gently to ensure all grains are evenly coated. Let it sit for 20-30 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the coconut milk.
Peel the mangoes and slice them into thin, even pieces. Set aside.
To serve, mold the sticky rice onto a serving plate. Arrange the mango slices alongside the sticky rice.
Drizzle the rice with the remaining coconut milk mixture and garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
Enjoy your homemade Mango Sticky Rice as a delicious dessert or snack!
