Mango Sticky Rice

Method

How it comes together

  1. 1

    Rinse glutinous rice until water runs clear. Soak 1 hour, then steam over simmering water 20–25 minutes until tender and translucent.

  2. 2

    While rice steams, warm coconut milk with sugar and salt in a small pan — do not boil. Stir until sugar dissolves.

  3. 3

    Fold three-quarters of the warm coconut milk into the hot rice. Cover and let sit 15 minutes to absorb.

  4. 4

    Slice mango cheeks off the pit; score and scoop or slice into planks.

  5. 5

    Mound rice on plates. Nestle mango alongside, pour the reserved coconut milk over the top, and finish with toasted sesame seeds.
