Ingredients
  

For the Sticky Rice
  • 1 cup Glutinous Rice Essential for the unique sticky texture; regular rice won't work.
  • 2 cups Water Crucial for soaking and steaming.
For the Coconut Sauce
  • 1 cup Coconut Milk Adds a rich creaminess.
  • 0.5 cups White Sugar Sweetens the coconut mixture; adjust to your taste.
  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt Balances flavors.
  • Pandan Leaves Optional, adds an aromatic flavor.
For the Topping
  • 2 tablespoons Rice Flour Thickens the salted coconut topping.
  • Toasted Sesame Seeds Optional garnish.

Equipment

  • steamer
  • medium saucepan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • small pot
  • Cheesecloth

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Rinse 1 cup of glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain the rice and place in a steamer lined with cheesecloth. Steam for 20-30 minutes until soft and translucent.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of coconut milk, ½ cup of white sugar, ¼ teaspoon of salt, and optional pandan leaves. Heat over medium heat, stirring gently for about 3 minutes until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Carefully transfer the steamed glutinous rice to a mixing bowl. Pour half of the warm coconut sauce over the rice, mixing gently. Cover and let it soak for 20 minutes.
  4. In a small pot, mix ½ cup of coconut milk, ¼ teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of rice flour. Cook over low heat, stirring continuously for about 5 minutes until thickened.
  5. To serve, scoop sticky rice onto a plate, arrange fresh mango slices beside it, and drizzle the thickened salted coconut sauce over both.
