Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Thai glutinous rice
  • 1 can full fat coconut milk
  • ½ cup dark brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 ripe mangoes peeled and sliced

Instructions
 

  • The night before, cover with water and soak the rice overnight.
  • The next day, drain the soaked rice into a sieve and place it in a steamer basket in a large pot with about two inches (2½-5 cm) of water (make sure the water does not touch the bottom of the basket). Turn the heat on to medium-low and let the water come to a simmer.
  • Place a well-fitting lid on the pot and steam the rice for 30 minutes, until tender. Top up water if needed.
  • While the rice is steaming, make the coconut syrup: In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the coconut milk, brown sugar, and salt until the sugar melts. Set aside.
  • When the rice is tender, transfer it to a bowl and stir in 1 cup (8floz/240ml) of the coconut milk syrup. Let the syrup soak into the rice for 30 minutes.
  • Divide the sticky rice pudding into 6 individual serving bowls or plates and drizzle with the remaining coconut syrup. Garnish with the mango slices and serve immediately.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
