Ingredients

  • 1 cup glutinous rice (sweet sticky rice)
  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon pandan extract or vanilla extract
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and sliced

Instructions

  1. Soak the Rice: Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak in a bowl of water for at least 3 hours or overnight.

  2. Prepare the Steamer: Set up a steamer over medium heat. Line the steaming basket with cheesecloth or banana leaves, if available.

  3. Drain and Steam Rice: Drain the soaked rice and spread it evenly on the prepared steamer basket. Cover and steam for about 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and translucent.

  4. Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, salt, and pandan extract (or vanilla). Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.

  5. Mix Rice with Coconut Mixture: Once the sticky rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Gradually pour the hot coconut mixture over the rice, gently folding together until well combined and creamy.

  6. Let It Set: Transfer the mixture into individual serving bowls or one large dish. Cover and let it set in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

  7. Serve with Mango: Top each serving with slices of ripe mango just before enjoying your dessert.
