Instructions
Steam the Rice
Drain the soaked sticky rice and steam it in a bamboo steamer or steamer basket lined with cheesecloth for 20 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the grains are translucent and tender.
Make the Coconut Sauce
While the rice steams, combine coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Do not boil the mixture. Remove from heat.
Soak the Rice
Transfer the hot steamed rice to a bowl and immediately pour three-quarters of the warm coconut sauce over it. Stir gently, then cover and let it absorb for 10 minutes until creamy and tender.
Plate and Serve
Scoop the sticky rice onto serving plates alongside the sliced mango. Drizzle the remaining coconut sauce over the rice and mango, then sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
