Sticky Rice with Mango and Coconut Cream (Dairy-Free, Vegan)

Ingredients

• 1 cup Sticky rice
• 1 can Coconut milk
• 1/4 cup Sugar
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 2 Fresh mango

Instructions

1. 1Measure the 1 cup of sticky rice into a medium bowl. Cover the rice with cool water and let it soak for at least 2 hours. This helps the rice cook evenly.
2. 2Drain the soaked 1 cup of sticky rice thoroughly. Transfer the drained rice to a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth or parchment paper. Steam the rice for 30 minutes, or until it is tender and cooked through. You will see the grains become translucent.
3. 3While the rice is steaming, combine the 1 can of coconut milk, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a medium saucepan. Heat this mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the 1/4 cup of sugar is completely dissolved. Bring it to a gentle simmer, but do not boil. Once the sugar is dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat.
4. 4Once the 1 cup of sticky rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Pour the warm sweetened coconut milk mixture over the hot sticky rice. Gently stir to combine, ensuring all the rice is coated. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the rice to absorb the liquid.
5. 5Peel and slice the 2 fresh mangoes. Arrange the sliced mango alongside the warm sticky rice mixture.
6. 6Serve the sticky rice warm with the sliced 2 fresh mango on the side.
