Ingredients
Scale
For the Sticky Rice:
- 1 ½ cups glutinous rice (sticky rice)
- 1 ¾ cups water (for steaming)
- 1 cup coconut milk
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ½ tsp salt
For the Coconut Sauce:
- ½ cup coconut milk
- 2 tbsp sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
For Serving:
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
- Optional: Toasted sesame seeds or mung beans for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Sticky Rice:
- Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Drain the rice and steam it in a bamboo steamer or a regular steamer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and translucent.
Make the Coconut Sauce for the Rice:
- In a saucepan, combine 1 cup coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Do not boil.
- Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and pour the warm coconut mixture over it. Stir gently to combine. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Prepare the Coconut Topping Sauce:
- In a separate saucepan, combine ½ cup coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly. Set aside.
Assemble the Dish:
- Slice the mangoes and set aside.
- Place a portion of the sticky rice on a plate, add mango slices alongside, and drizzle the coconut topping sauce over the rice.
- Garnish with toasted sesame seeds or mung beans if desired.
