Words - Sachini Perera

Ingredients:

• 2 cups glutinous rice (also known as sticky rice)
• 2 ripe mangoes
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1/2 cup sugar
• A pinch of salt
• Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

• Soak the Rice: Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. This helps soften the grains and ensures they cook evenly.
•  
• Steam the Rice: Drain the soaked rice and place it in a steamer lined with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel. Steam the rice over boiling water for about 25-30 minutes, or until it becomes tender and translucent.
•  
• Prepare the Coconut Sauce: In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves. Be careful not to let it boil. Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the coconut sauce from heat and let it cool slightly.
•  
• Slice the Mangoes: Peel the mangoes and slice them into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
•  
• Assemble the Dish: Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a serving dish or individual plates. Drizzle the warm coconut sauce over the rice, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Arrange the sliced mangoes on top of the rice. Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds over the dish for added flavor and texture.
•  
• Serve: Serve the Mango Sticky Rice warm or at room temperature, allowing guests to enjoy the creamy rice with sweet mangoes.
