Mango Sticky Rice Bites (Gluten-Free)

Instructions

1. 1Measure the 1 cup of sweet rice (glutinous rice) into a bowl. Cover the rice with water and let it soak for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
2. 2Drain the soaked 1 cup of sweet rice (glutinous rice). Place the drained rice in a steamer basket set over a pot of simmering water. Steam for 20-30 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked, translucent, and clumps together easily when pressed.
3. 3While the rice is steaming, pour half of the 1 can of coconut milk into a medium saucepan. Add the 1/4 cup of sugar and the 1/4 tsp of salt to the saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Do not let it boil. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
4. 4Once the 1 cup of sweet rice (glutinous rice) is cooked, transfer it to a bowl. Pour the sweetened coconut milk mixture over the hot rice. Stir gently to combine, then let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the liquid.
5. 5Prepare the 2 medium mangoes by peeling them and carefully slicing the flesh away from the pit. Cut the mango flesh into bite-sized pieces, about 1.27 cm cubes.
6. 6Take small portions of the sticky rice mixture and shape them into bite-sized balls or squares, aiming for about 16-20 bites in total.
7. 7Arrange the sticky rice bites on a serving plate. Serve immediately with the sliced 2 medium mango and sprinkle the top with the 1 tbsp of sesame seeds.
