150 ml coconut milk

2 tbsp sugar

Pinch of salt

Half a piece of sweet Thai mango

½ tsp roasted sesame seeds

Method

1. Wash the glutinous rice and soak in water for at least 5 hours (preferably overnight). Drain and steam.

2. Heat the coconut milk, sugar and salt in a pan until it boils, then add the glutinous rice and keep stirring until your desired thickness (coconut milk has reduced). Place into a serving bowl.

3. Slice the mango and put it alongside or on top of the sticky rice and sprinkle with roasted sesame seeds.

Tip: A side sauce can be added and made by mixing coconut milk, sugar and a pinch of salt in a pan (keeps in the refrigerator for up to 2 days).
