Ingredients
- 1 cup glutinous (sweet) rice
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
- Optional: toasted sesame seeds or mung beans
- Optional: extra coconut cream for drizzling
Instructions
- Rinse the glutinous rice several times until the water runs clear. Soak it in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Steam the soaked rice in a cheesecloth-lined steamer basket for 20–30 minutes until tender and sticky.
- While rice steams, heat coconut milk with sugar and salt in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until dissolved. Do not boil.
- Transfer cooked rice to a bowl and pour two-thirds of the warm coconut milk mixture over it. Stir gently, cover, and let sit for 15–20 minutes to absorb flavors.
- Plate the sticky rice with mango slices on the side. Drizzle with remaining coconut milk mixture.
- Top with optional toasted sesame seeds or mung beans, and drizzle with extra coconut cream if desired.
Notes
- Infuse coconut milk with pandan leaves for added aroma.
- Substitute mango with papaya or lychee for variation.
- Thicken coconut cream for a richer topping.
- Reduce sugar if preferred less sweet.
- Store leftover rice in the fridge and reheat with a splash of water or coconut milk.
