- 1 1/2 cups coconut milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Additional:
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds or mung beans for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse and Soak Rice: Rinse glutinous rice until water runs clear. Soak rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight, then drain.
- Steam Rice: Steam rice in a cheesecloth-lined steamer basket for 25–30 minutes until tender.
- Prepare Coconut Sauce: Combine coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves. Do not boil. Reserve 1/3 cup for topping.
