How to prepare it step by step?
Preparation
- Wash the glutinous rice and steam it until tender and sticky, about 20-25 minutes. Look for a glossy sheen and a slightly translucent appearance.
- In a saucepan, heat the coconut milk with sugar and salt until the sugar dissolves, without boiling. The mixture should be smooth and fragrant.
- Pour the mixture over the cooked rice and mix gently. Let it rest for 15 minutes so that the rice absorbs all the flavor. The rice should be soft and fully infused with the coconut mixture.
- Peel the mangoes and cut them into thin slices or cubes, ensuring they are ripe and juicy.
- Serve a portion of sticky rice on each plate, place a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, and arrange the mango around or on top.
- Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and, if desired, a little grated coconut.
- Serve immediately, savoring the contrast between the warm, aromatic rice and the cool, creamy ice cream.
