Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 fresh mangoes, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup glutinous (sweet) rice
- 1 cup (240 mL/8 fl oz) coconut milk
- 1 tbsp (15 mL/0.5 fl oz) coconut milk
- ¼ cup (50 g/1.8 oz) sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preparation: Submerge glutinous rice in cold water for a minimum of 2 hours, ensuring optimal softening and even cooking potential.
- Draining: Remove excess liquid completely, preventing potential waterlogging during subsequent cooking stages.
- Steaming: Position rice in a bamboo steamer or perforated container above boiling water. Steam for approximately 25 minutes until grains become perfectly tender while maintaining structural integrity.
- Mango Preparation: Expertly peel and slice ripe mangoes into uniform, elegant pieces that will harmonize with the sticky rice’s texture.
- Coconut Sauce Creation: Gently heat coconut milk with sugar and salt, stirring consistently to develop a rich, smooth sauce. Incorporate cornstarch to achieve a silky, slightly thickened consistency that elegantly coats culinary implements.
- Rice Infusion: Transfer steamed rice to a spacious mixing vessel, integrating half the prepared coconut sauce. Allow the rice to absorb the fragrant liquid, developing complex flavor profiles.
- Plating: Artfully arrange the infused sticky rice, positioning vibrant mango slices strategically. Drizzle remaining coconut sauce over the composition and garnish with toasted sesame seeds, creating a visually stunning and texturally dynamic culinary presentation.
Notes
- Optimize Rice Softening: Soak glutinous rice for at least 2 hours to ensure even cooking and enhanced texture absorption.
- Drain Thoroughly: Remove excess water completely to prevent soggy rice and maintain ideal steaming consistency.
- Perfect Steaming Technique: Use bamboo steamer or improvised setup, steam for 25 minutes until rice reaches tender yet firm texture.
- Elevate Flavor Absorption: Mix rice with half the coconut sauce, allowing it to rest and develop rich, complex flavor profiles.
