Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup glutinous rice (sticky rice)
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large mango
- 1 large lime
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
- 1.5 cups water
Instructions
Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water multiple times until the water runs clear, then soak it in water for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
Drain the soaked rice and transfer it to a steamer lined with cheesecloth or a fine-mesh sieve. Steam over boiling water for 25–30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and sticky.
While the rice is steaming, prepare the coconut sauce by combining the coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Heat gently over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar and salt dissolve. Do not boil.
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a heatproof bowl. Gradually pour about 3/4 of the coconut sauce over the hot rice, stirring gently to coat evenly. Cover and let the rice absorb the sauce for 15 minutes.
Peel the mangoes and slice them into thin wedges or cubes. Set aside.
Zest and juice the lime. Add the zest to the remaining coconut sauce for extra flavor. Reserve the juice for optional sprinkling over the mango slices if desired.
To serve, scoop a portion of the sticky rice onto a plate or serving dish. Arrange mango slices on the side. Drizzle with the remaining coconut sauce and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds if using.
For a zesty finish, add a small squeeze of lime juice over the mango and rice just before serving.
