Instructions

Prep ahead
- soak sticky rice 30 min–4 hrs; drain.
- peel and slice ripe mangoes; chill.
- stir coconut milk, sugar, salt together.
Cooking steps
Combine drained rice with 1 ½ cups water in small pot; bring to boil. cover, reduce heat to low, and cook 15–20 min until water is absorbed.
While rice cooks, gently heat coconut milk mixture in saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves; keep below a simmer.
When rice is tender, fluff once, then pour ¾ of hot coconut milk over rice. cover and sit 10 min so grains absorb sauce.
Spoon warm sticky rice onto plates; arrange mango slices beside.
Drizzle remaining coconut sauce over rice and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds. serve warm or at room temperature.
