1 cup glutinous (sticky) rice
1 ½ cups coconut milk
½ cup sugar
¼ tsp salt
2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds or mung beans (optional, for garnish)
Rinse sticky rice under cold water until water runs clear. Soak in water for 4–6 hours or overnight.
Drain the rice and steam it in a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth for 20–25 minutes until tender.
While rice is cooking, heat coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves.
Reserve ½ cup of the coconut mixture for topping.
Transfer the cooked sticky rice to a bowl and pour in the remaining coconut milk mixture. Mix well, cover, and let rest for 20–30 minutes to absorb.
Serve sticky rice with sliced mangoes, drizzle with reserved coconut milk, and top with sesame seeds or mung beans if desired.
Use ripe, sweet mangoes such as Ataulfo or Alphonso for best flavor.
