Equipment

  • Steamer

Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 whole fresh mangoes
  • 1 cup glutinous/sweet rice
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon coconut milk
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon corn starch
  • ½ teaspoon sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • Soak glutinous/sweet rice for 2 hours, or up to overnight. Drain water when ready.
  • Using a steamer, steam sticky rice for 20-30 minutes. Check on the 20 minute mark. If rice is soft and not hard in the middle, it is done.
  • If you do not have a steamer, shape aluminum foil into three equal size balls. Fill pot with water and place the aluminum balls on the pot.
  • Place a metal bowl/plate on the aluminum balls. Add drained rice to the bowl/plate.
  • Bring pot to boil, and once it boils, cover pot, and cook for 20-30 minutes. Check on the 20 minute mark. If rice is soft and not hard in the middle, it is done.
  • While waiting for rice to cook, slice mangoes.
  • Prepare the sweet coconut sauce by bringing 1 cup of coconut milk, sugar and salt to boil. Once it reaches a boil, bring ½ of the sauce into a small bowl and set aside.
  • Combine 1 tablespoon of coconut milk and corn starch, then add that into the pot to thicken the sweet coconut sauce. Boil for a few minutes until sauce is thickened.
  • When rice is done, add the non-thickened sweet coconut sauce to rice and mix well. Set aside and let it cool for 15-20 minutes.
  • Once cool, place rice onto serving plate(s), pair with mangoes, and drizzle the thickened sweet coconut sauce onto rice. Garnish with sesame seeds.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to fill enough water so pot doesn't dry out while steaming.
