Ingredients

• 1 cup glutinous rice
• 1 cup light coconut milk
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 whole ripe mangoes
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 6 leaves mint leaves

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming too sticky.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, soak the rinsed rice in water for 30 minutes, then drain.

Step 3

Transfer the soaked rice to a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel.

Step 4

Steam the rice over boiling water for 25-30 minutes, or until the grains become tender and fully cooked. Check occasionally to ensure the water does not evaporate completely from the steamer.

Step 5

While the rice is steaming, combine the light coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely, then remove from heat. Do not bring the coconut milk to a boil.

Step 6

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and pour half of the coconut mixture over it. Stir gently with a spatula to ensure all the rice is evenly coated.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let the rice sit for at least 10 minutes to absorb the coconut milk.

Step 8

Peel the mangoes and slice them into thin strips.

Step 9

Toast sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 10

To serve, mold portions of sticky rice onto plates using a small bowl or cup, top with sliced mango, and drizzle with the remaining coconut milk.

Step 11

Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and mint leaves for added flavor and visual appeal.
