Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup glutinous (sticky) rice
- 1 1/2 cups coconut milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds or mung beans (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse the sticky rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak it in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Drain the rice and steam it in a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth for about 20-25 minutes until tender.
- While the rice is steaming, combine coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Do not boil.
- Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and pour about 1 cup of the warm coconut milk mixture over it. Stir gently to combine, then cover and let it absorb the coconut milk for 20-30 minutes.
- Serve the sticky rice with sliced mango on the side. Drizzle with remaining coconut milk and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds or mung beans if using.
Notes
For extra richness, slightly warm the coconut milk before serving and drizzle on top. You can also garnish with fresh mint leaves for a fresh contrast.
