Ingredients
  

For the Sticky Rice
  • 1 cup Thai Sticky Rice Soak before cooking to achieve that perfect chewy texture.
For the Coconut Sauce

  • 6 tablespoons Granulated Sugar Adjust sweetness based on mango ripeness.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Enhances the overall taste.
  • 1 tablespoon Corn Starch Thicken your coconut cream for a luscious topping.
For Assembly
  • 2 medium Ataúlfo Mangoes Bringing freshness and sweetness; ideal for optimal flavor and texture.
  • 2 tablespoons Toasted White Sesame Seeds Use as an optional garnish.

Equipment

  • bamboo steamer
  • mixing bowl
  • Small pot
  • saucepan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Rinse the Thai sticky rice under cold water for about 3–4 times until the water runs clear. Soak in cold water for at least 1 hour or overnight. After soaking, drain the rice and steam it in a sieve over simmering water for approximately 15 minutes until tender.
  2. In a small pot, combine 1 cup of full-fat coconut milk with 6 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Gently heat until the sugar dissolves and keep warm.
  3. Once the sticky rice is fully cooked, transfer it to a mixing bowl and fold in the warm coconut mixture. Cover with a kitchen towel and let sit for about 30 minutes.
  4. In a saucepan, heat the remaining 3/4 cup of coconut milk with 1/4 teaspoon of salt until it simmers. Add 1 tablespoon of corn starch slowly, whisking until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Serve by layering the sticky rice on a plate, arranging sliced Ataúlfo mangoes on top, drizzling with thickened coconut cream, and sprinkling toasted sesame seeds before enjoying.
