Ingredients:

For Sticky Rice:

• 1 cup glutinous rice
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

For Coconut Sauce:

• 1 cup coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

For Serving:

Instructions:

Sticky Rice:

Soak 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.

Drain and Steam:

• After soaking, drain the rice. Place the rice in a steamer lined with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel. Steam the rice for 25-30 minutes or until it becomes tender and sticky.

Prepare Coconut Mixture:

• While the rice is steaming, mix 1 cup of coconut milk, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.

Combine Rice and Coconut Mixture:

• Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Pour the coconut mixture over the rice while it's still hot. Stir to coat the rice evenly. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Coconut Sauce:

• In another saucepan, combine 1 cup of coconut milk, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.

Serving:

Assemble the Dish:

• Mold a portion of the sticky rice into a small cup or bowl. Invert it onto a serving plate to create a neat mound of sticky rice.

Add Mango Slices:

• Arrange slices of ripe mango on the side or on top of the sticky rice.

Drizzle with Coconut Sauce:

• Drizzle the coconut sauce over the sticky rice and mango slices. Ensure a generous amount of sauce covers the dessert.

Optional Garnish:
