  • Total Time1 hr 15 min

For the Sticky Rice:

  • 1 cup glutinous (sticky) rice
  • 1 ¼ cups water
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

For the Mango Topping:

  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for mangoes)

For Garnish (Optional):

  • Sesame seeds or toasted sesame seeds
  • Fresh mint leaves

Prepare the Sticky Rice:

1

Rinse the sticky rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain.

2

In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

3

In a separate small saucepan, heat the coconut milk, sugar, and salt over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Do not boil.

4

Once the rice is cooked, remove from heat and gently stir in the coconut milk mixture. Cover and let sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Prepare the Mango Topping:

5

Peel and slice the mangoes. If desired, toss the mango slices with a tablespoon of sugar to enhance sweetness.

Assemble and Serve:

6

Serve the sticky rice warm or at room temperature, topped with mango slices.

7

Garnish with sesame seeds or fresh mint leaves if desired.

Recipe Notes:

For the best texture, use glutinous or sticky rice, which is essential for achieving the signature chewiness.

The coconut milk mixture can be adjusted to taste if you prefer a richer or lighter coconut flavor.

This dish is typically served at room temperature or slightly warm, but not hot.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
