For best results, soak the black sticky rice in water for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, before cooking. This will help to ensure even cooking and a softer texture. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference, depending on the sweetness of the mangoes. If you don't have fresh mangoes, you can use frozen mango chunks, thawed before serving. To add a touch of elegance, garnish with a sprig of fresh mint or a sprinkle of black sesame seeds.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a mixing bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of coconut milk, sugar, and salt until the sugar is completely dissolved and the coconut sauce is smooth. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a saucepan, combine the black sticky rice, water, 1/4 cup of coconut milk, and 1 tablespoon of shredded coconut. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is sticky, soft, and has absorbed most of the liquid, approximately 20-25 minutes.
03
StepPour half of the prepared coconut sauce over the cooked rice. Stir and fluff gently with a fork to ensure even distribution. Add the remaining coconut sauce to the rice mixture and stir well. Remove the saucepan from heat and let it stand, covered, until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
04
StepWhile the rice is resting, prepare the toasted coconut. In a dry skillet over medium-low heat, cook and stir the remaining shredded coconut until it is lightly toasted and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
05
StepTo serve, ladle about 1/2 cup of the purple sticky rice mixture into each serving bowl or plate. Arrange 4 to 5 slices of fresh mango on each serving. Sprinkle the toasted coconut generously over the mango slices. Serve immediately and enjoy!
