Authentic Mango sticky rice recipe :
-----------------------------------------------------------
1.5 cups Thai glutinous rice (also called sweet rice)
1.5 cups water (or 2.5 cups if you don't steam it)
For the Sweet Coconut Sauce:
--------------------------------------------------
1.5 cups full-fat coconut milk (divided)
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
For the Coconut Drizzle:
-----------------------------------------
Remaining coconut milk from above
1 tbsp water
1 tsp cornstarch
Toasted sesame seeds or toasted yellow mung beans (for garnish)
1-2 ripe, sweet mangoes
Step-by-Step Instructions
-------------------------------------------
1.Soak the Rice: Rinse the glutinous rice 3 to 4 times until the water runs clear. Soak it in cool water for at least 3 hours or overnight.
2.Steam the Rice: Drain the rice completely. Line a steamer basket with a damp cheesecloth, add the drained rice, and steam for about 25 to 30 minutes over boiling water until translucent and tender.
Prepare the Coconut Sauce:
------------------------------------------------
In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of coconut milk, the sugar, and the salt. Heat gently over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves completely (do not let it boil).
Mix the Rice:
----------------------
Once the rice is steamed, transfer it to a large bowl and immediately pour the hot coconut mixture over the rice. Stir well, cover the bowl, and let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes so the grains absorb the liquid.
Make the Thick Coconut Drizzle:
-------------------------------------------------------
Using the remaining coconut milk (about 1/2 cup), add it to a small saucepan with the water and cornstarch, stirring until smooth. Simmer gently for a few minutes until it thickens into a glaze, then remove from heat.
Assemble and Serve:
------------------------------------
Peel the mangoes and slice the flesh away from the central pit. Scoop the warm sticky rice onto a plate, place the sliced mangoes on the side, and drizzle the thickened coconut sauce over the top. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
