Authentic Mango Sticky Rice Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups uncooked glutinous (sticky) white rice, rinsed
• 1 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk, divided
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 0.75 teaspoon cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and cubed

Instructions

1. Soak glutinous rice in a microwave-safe bowl with ample water for 30 minutes. Drain, leaving just enough water to cover the rice by 1/4 inch.
2. Microwave the rice, covered, on high until most of the water is absorbed but the rice remains moist, approximately 10 minutes. Stir, then cook for another 4 minutes until almost dry.
3. In a bowl, mix 1/2 can of coconut milk with 1 cup of sugar until the sugar dissolves completely. Pour this mixture over the rice and stir to coat evenly. Cover and let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
4. In a saucepan, combine the remaining coconut milk with the remaining sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth and heat over medium, stirring continuously until it thickens, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
5. Spoon the sticky rice into serving bowls. Drizzle each serving with about 2 tablespoons of the coconut sauce and garnish with slices of fresh mango.
