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 (optional)
- 1 tablespoon toasted mung beans (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse the sticky rice several times until the water runs clear, then soak it in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Drain the soaked rice and steam it in a bamboo steamer or a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth for about 20-25 minutes until tender.
- While the rice steams, heat the coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, but do not boil.
- Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a mixing bowl and gradually pour about three-quarters of the sweetened coconut milk over it. Stir gently and let it absorb for 20-30 minutes.
- Serve the sticky rice topped with sliced mangoes and drizzle with the remaining coconut milk.
- Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds or mung beans on top for added texture, if desired.
Notes
For an extra creamy texture, use full-fat coconut milk and serve the dish slightly warm or at room temperature for the best flavor combination.
