Ingredients
Scale
Rice and Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup glutinous (sweet) rice
- 2–3 fresh mangoes, peeled and sliced
Liquid and Sweetener Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) coconut milk
- ¼ cup (50 grams) sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Thickening and Garnish Ingredients:
- ½ teaspoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Immerse glutinous rice in cold water for a minimum of 2 hours, allowing the grains to soften and prepare for even cooking. Longer soaking time enhances rice texture and absorption capacity.
- Thoroughly drain the rice, eliminating excess liquid to prevent potential waterlogging during the cooking process.
- Utilize a steaming apparatus – traditional bamboo steamer or improvised setup with a perforated container suspended over boiling water. Steam rice for approximately 25 minutes until grains become tender yet maintain structural integrity.
- While rice transforms, meticulously peel ripe mangoes and slice into elegant, uniform pieces that will complement the sticky rice’s texture.
- Create a luscious coconut sauce by gently heating coconut milk with sugar and a whisper of salt. Allow ingredients to meld and transform, stirring consistently to prevent scorching.
- Introduce cornstarch mixture to the simmering sauce, continuously whisking until the liquid develops a silky, slightly thickened consistency that coats the back of a spoon.
- Transfer steamed rice into a spacious mixing vessel, then integrate half the prepared coconut sauce. Allow the rice to rest and absorb the fragrant liquid, developing deeper flavor profiles.
- Artfully plate the infused sticky rice, surrounding or topping with vibrant mango slices. Cascade remaining coconut sauce over the composition and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds for textural contrast and visual elegance.
