Thai Coconut Sticky Rice with Mango

Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1 Rinse the glutinous rice until the water runs clear, then soak it in water for 1 hour.
2. 2 Drain the rice and steam it in a rice cooker or on the stovetop for about 20-25 minutes until fully cooked.
3. 3 In a saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups coconut milk, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved.
4. 4 Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and pour the coconut milk mixture over it. Stir gently to combine, then cover and let it sit for 15-20 minutes to absorb the coconut milk.
5. 5 For the coconut sauce, combine 1/2 cup coconut milk, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, then remove from heat and let it cool.
6. 6 To serve, mold the sticky rice onto plates, place mango slices alongside, and drizzle with the coconut sauce. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
