Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Glutinous rice (sticky rice)
- 1 cup Water
- 1.5 cups Coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the glutinous rice thoroughly in cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
Soak the rinsed rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain well before cooking.
Steam the sticky rice: Place the soaked and drained rice in a steamer lined with cheesecloth or a thin kitchen towel. Steam over boiling water for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and sticky.
While the rice is steaming, prepare the coconut sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir occasionally and heat until the sugar has fully dissolved, but do not let it boil.
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a mixing bowl and pour about 1 cup of the warm coconut sauce over the rice. Mix gently to combine. Cover the bowl and let the rice sit for 20-30 minutes to absorb the sauce and become more flavorful.
To serve, scoop a portion of the coconut-infused sticky rice onto a plate. Arrange a few slices of ripe mango on the side.
Drizzle additional coconut sauce over the rice as desired. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for added nuttiness.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
