Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 15 minutes

Rest time: 4 hours

Total time 4 hrs 25 mins

Cooking method: Traditional

Difficulty: Beginner

Servings: 4

Ingredients

250g of glutinous rice (sticky rice)
300 ml of coconut milk
4 tablespoons of sugar
¼ tsp of salt
2 mangoes , peeled and sliced
Toasted sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Preparation

1
To prepare the glutinous rice: Rinse the glutinous rice several times until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Soak it in cold water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
2
Cooking the rice: Drain the glutinous rice and steam it for 15-20 minutes until tender. You can use a bamboo steamer for traditional cooking, or a standard steamer.
3
To prepare the coconut milk sauce: In a small saucepan, combine 250 ml of coconut milk with 3 tablespoons of sugar and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Do not let the mixture boil to prevent the coconut milk from separating.
4
Mix the rice with the coconut milk sauce: Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and pour the hot coconut milk sauce over it. Gently mix so the rice absorbs the coconut milk well. Cover and let it sit for about 10 minutes so the rice becomes creamy and fluffy.
5
To prepare the topping sauce: In a separate small saucepan, heat the remaining coconut milk (50 ml) with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. This sauce will be used to top the rice when serving.
6
To assemble the dessert: Arrange the coconut milk sticky rice in a plate or bowl. Add the mango slices alongside. Drizzle some coconut milk sauce over the rice and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for garnish.

Note

The sliced mangoes from Picard are perfect: juicy and ripe.
