Mango Sticky Rice

Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse your rice: Rinse your sticky rice until the water runs clear.

2. 2

   Cook the rice: Drain the soaked rice and steam it in a steamer or cook it with 1 cup of water until tender and sticky.

3. 3

   Make the coconut sauce: In a small saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves.

4. 4

   Thicken the sauce: Mix 2 tbsp water with 1 tbsp cornstarch to make a slurry. Stir this into the coconut milk mixture and cook for 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.

5. 5

   Combine rice and sauce: Pour about half of the coconut sauce over your cooked sticky rice and gently fold to coat. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes so the rice absorbs the sauce.

6. 6

   Assemble the dish: Place a portion of the sticky rice on a plate, arrange mango slices alongside or on top, and drizzle with remaining coconut sauce.

7. 7

   Garnish: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top if desired. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.
