Ingredients

For steaming rice:

  • 1 ½ cup glutinous rice or sweet rice

For coconut mixture:

  • 400 ml coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 pandan leaf, optional

For coconut sauce:

  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (corn flour)
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • ¾ cup coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • A pinch of salt

For serving:

  • 1-2 ripe mangoes, sliced
  • Toasted mung beans or sesame seeds

Instructions

Steam rice:

  • Rinse rice with cold water until the water becomes clear.
  • Soak for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  • Drain the soaked rice.
  • Transfer rice to a steamer lined with muslin cloth or baking paper.
  • Steam for about 20-25 minutes or until the grains are tender.
  • Transfer rice to a large bowl.

Make coconut mixture:

  • Pour coconut milk into a saucepan placed over low heat.
  • Add sugar, salt and pandan leaf (if using), then heat through, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  • Pour the warm coconut mixture over the rice. Fold in gently.
  • Cover and rest for about 15 minutes or until the rice absorbs the coconut mixture.

Make the coconut sauce:

  • In a small bowl, combine together cornstarch (corn flour) and water to make a smooth slurry.
  • Pour coconut milk into a saucepan, and add sugar and salt.
  • Heat gently, then stir in the slurry. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Remove from the heat and allow it to cool. The finished sauce should be smooth and pourable.

Assemble and serve:

  • Divide the sticky rice among four serving plates.
  • Arrange the mango slices alongside each portion.
  • Drizzle the prepared coconut sauce generously over the rice.
  • Finish with toasted mung beans or sesame seeds.
  • Serve immediately.
