Ingredients
White Glutinous Rice, rinsed and soaked
Coconut Milk (⅔ cup for rice, ½ cup for sauce)
Table Salt (½ teaspoon for rice, ¼ teaspoon for sauce)
Sugar (½ cup)
Rice Flour (1 teaspoon)
Water (1 Tablespoon)
Shelled and Split Mung Beans (2 Tablespoons, roasted and crunchy)
Ripe Mangoes (3, sweet and firm when ripe)
Instructions
In a bowl, combine glutinous rice with coconut milk and salt, then let soak for 30 minutes.
Transfer the rice mixture to a steamer lined with parchment paper. Steam for 30-35 minutes until tender and sticky.
In a small saucepan, add coconut milk, sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt to the remaining ½ cup coconut milk. Boil until sugar dissolves.
Dissolve rice flour in water, then whisk into the sauce. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Peel and slice mangoes, arranging them on chilled serving bowls.
Top with steamed sticky rice and drizzle warm coconut sauce evenly over the rice.
Sprinkle roasted mung beans on the dish as a garnish before serving.
Notes
Use frozen coconut milk to ensure it stays thick when heated
Add lime juice to the sauce for extra brightness
Chill rice mixture for 1 minute before assembling to avoid sticking
