Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups (300g) glutinous sticky rice
- 1.5 cups (350ml) water
- 0.5 tsp (3g) salt
- 1 can (13.5 oz / 400ml) full-fat coconut milk
- 0.5 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 0.5 tsp (3g) salt
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 2 large (450g) ripe mangoes
- 1 tbsp (5g) toasted white sesame seeds
Instructions:
- Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess surface starch.
- Place the rice in a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth or a fine-mesh strainer over boiling water, cover tightly, and steam for 20 minutes until translucent and tender.
- While the rice steams, combine coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves, ensuring it does not reach a rolling boil.
- Pour the warm coconut mixture into a bowl and immediately add the hot, steamed rice. Fold gently for 2 minutes, then cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Peel and slice the ripe mangoes into long wedges.
- Scoop a portion of the coconut-infused rice onto a plate, arrange mango slices alongside, drizzle with remaining coconut sauce, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
