Scale
- 2–3 mangoes
Rice:
- 3/4 cup glutinous rice
- 3/4 cup coconut milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- Dash of salt
Coconut Sauce:
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Dash of salt
- Toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnishing)
Instructions
- Rinse the glutinous rice until the water runs clear. In a large bowl, soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours (or overnight).
- Drain the soaked rice and transfer it to a steaming basket lined with parchment paper. Steam the rice over boiling water for 20 minutes.
- While the rice is cooking, heat the rest of the rice ingredients in a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves. To the steamer, pour it on top of the rice, stirring to combine. Cover the steamer and allow it to sit for 15-20 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, combine the Coconut Sauce ingredients. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- To serve, scoop the sticky rice onto a plate. Arrange the mango slices alongside the rice. Drizzle the coconut sauce over the sticky rice and enjoy!
