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 under cold water until water runs clear, then soak in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Drain the rice and steam it in a bamboo steamer or regular steamer for about 20-25 minutes until tender.
- In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat gently until sugar dissolves, do not boil.
- Transfer the steamed sticky rice to a bowl and pour about 3/4 of the coconut milk mixture over it. Stir gently to combine and let it sit for 20-30 minutes to absorb the coconut flavor.
- Serve the sticky rice with sliced mangoes on the side.
- Drizzle remaining coconut milk over the rice and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and mung beans if desired.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk and serve slightly warm or at room temperature. You can also add a pinch of pandan essence to the coconut milk for authentic aroma.
