Coconut Sticky Rice With Mango Recipe - A Sweet Delight

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 cup glutinous rice (soaked for at least 4 hours)
  • 1 cup coconut milk (preferably unsweetened)
  • 1 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 ripe mangoes (peeled and sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (toasted for garnish)
  • 1 leaf pandan leaf (optional for flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon water (for steaming)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Rice

    Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.

    Soaking helps achieve the perfect chewy texture.
  2. Cook the Rice

    Drain the soaked rice and place it in a steamer lined with cheesecloth or a bamboo basket. Steam for about 30 minutes until the rice is translucent.

    Make sure to keep the water boiling while steaming.
  3. Prepare Coconut Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves but do not boil.

    Reserve a few tablespoons of the sauce for serving.
  4. Mix the Rice and Sauce

    Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and pour the coconut sauce over it. Mix well and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

    Use a spatula to gently fold the rice for even coating.
  5. Serve

    To serve, place a portion of sticky rice on a plate, top with sliced mangoes and drizzle with reserved coconut sauce. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds if desired.

    Enjoy warm or at room temperature for the best flavor.
