Mango Sticky Rice

Ingredients:

  • 1 ripe mango, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups glutinous (sticky) rice
  • 2 cups coconut milk (full-fat, unsweetened)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • Toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Coconut Sauce

  • 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat, unsweetened)
  • ¼ cup sugar (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp rice flour or cornstarch (for thickening)
  • 1 tbsp water (to mix with starch)

Instructions:

  1. Rinse and soak the glutinous rice in water overnight, or for at least 5–6 hours.
  2. Drain the soaked rice and cook it in a rice cooker with the coconut milk, salt, and sugar. Stir well before starting the cooker.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup coconut milk, sugar and salt. Heat over medium-low until it begins to simmer gently.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the rice flour (or cornstarch) with 1 tbsp water to form a slurry. Stir this into the sauce and cook for another 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened. Set aside to cool.
  5. Peel and slice the ripe mangoes. Then, scoop a portion of sticky rice onto a plate, top or serve alongside mango slices.
  6. Drizzle with coconut topping sauce and garnish with toasted sesame seeds, if desired.
