- 1 cup glutinous (sticky) rice
- 1 ½ cups coconut milk
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds or mung beans (optional, for garnish)
- Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak it in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Drain the rice and steam it in a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth for about 20–25 minutes or until tender.
- While the rice steams, heat the coconut milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Add sugar and salt, stirring until dissolved. Do not boil.
- Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and pour about 1 cup of the sweetened coconut milk over it. Mix well, cover, and let it sit for 20–30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Prepare individual pudding cups by spooning the sticky rice into the bottom of each cup.
- Top with sliced mango and drizzle with additional coconut milk. Garnish with sesame seeds or mung beans if desired.
- Chill for 10–15 minutes before serving or enjoy at room temperature.
Notes
- Use only glutinous or sticky rice for the right texture.
- Choose ripe, fragrant mangoes for best flavor.
- You can adjust the sugar level in the coconut milk to your taste.
