For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cardamom or a dash of vanilla extract to the coconut sauce. Ensure the mangoes are perfectly ripe for the best flavor and texture contrast. If you don't have a microwave, the rice can be steamed using a traditional steamer until cooked through.

Follow The Directions
01
StepSoak the Rice: In a microwave-safe bowl, cover the rinsed glutinous rice with several inches of fresh water. Allow it to stand for 30 minutes to initiate the softening process.
02
StepMicrowave the Rice: Drain the soaked rice, leaving just enough water to cover it by 1/4 inch. Microwave, covered, on High for approximately 10 minutes, or until the water is mostly absorbed, but the rice remains slightly wet. Stir gently and continue to cook for an additional 4 minutes, or until almost dry.
03
StepSweeten the Rice: In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 of the coconut milk with 1 cup of white sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Pour this mixture over the cooked rice, ensuring every grain is well-coated. Cover the bowl and let it stand at room temperature for 20 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the sweet coconut infusion.
04
StepPrepare the Coconut Sauce: Pour the remaining 1/2 can of coconut milk into a saucepan. Whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar, cornstarch, and salt until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Over medium heat, bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, whisking constantly to prevent scorching. Continue to simmer for about 2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
05
StepAssemble and Serve: Scoop the sweet sticky rice into individual serving bowls. Generously top each serving with about 2 tablespoons of the luscious coconut sauce and a generous portion of fresh, cubed mango pieces. Serve immediately and enjoy this symphony of flavors!
