Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup glutinous (sticky) rice
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
Instructions
- Rinse the sticky rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Soak in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Drain the rice and steam in a cheesecloth-lined steamer basket for about 20–25 minutes, until tender.
- While the rice cooks, heat coconut milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Add sugar and salt, stirring until dissolved. Do not boil.
- Once the rice is done, transfer to a mixing bowl and pour 3/4 of the coconut milk mixture over it. Stir gently, then let the rice sit for 20–30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- To serve, place a scoop of sticky rice on a plate, top with sliced mango, and drizzle with the remaining coconut sauce.
- Optional: sprinkle with sesame seeds or toasted mung beans for texture.
Notes
- Soaking the rice is essential for proper texture—don’t skip this step.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for the creamiest, most authentic flavor.
- Best served warm or at room temperature.
