Ingredients

1 mango
1 cup glutinous rice
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

For The Rice Soak
½ cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
½ teaspoon salt

For The Coconut Sauce
½ cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

¼ cup water

Instructions

To Make The Rice Soak
In a bowl, mix the coconut milk with the sugar and salt. Set aside.

To Steam The Rice:
Soak the rice in water overnight. Rinse and drain.

To steam the rice, layer the washed rice on a cheesecloth and fold it. Place on a steamer, and steam for 20 minutes.

When the rice is steamed, place it in a bowl. And pour the rice soak over it, mix well. Set aside, and let it soak up the sauce for 20-30 minutes.

To Make The Coconut Sauce:
In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk with the sugar and water and let it reach a simmer (do not boil). Make the slurry by combining the cornstarch with water, and whisk it in the coconut milk. Cook for a couple of minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.

To Serve:
Peel and slice the mango into thick slices. Serve the rice in a plate or a bowl, arrange the mango slices on the side, and drizzle with sauce.
