Instructions
1
Start by preparing the sticky rice. Rinse 1 1/2 cups of glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Drain the soaked rice and place it in a steamer lined with cheesecloth. Steam for about 20-25 minutes until the rice becomes tender and sticky.

In a separate bowl, dissolve 5 tablespoons of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in 1 cup of thick coconut milk over low heat, stirring until fully dissolved. Do not bring to a boil.
4
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl while it's still warm and mix it with the sweetened coconut milk. Stir well, ensuring all the rice is coated. Cover and let it sit for 30 minutes to soak up the flavors.
5
For the coconut cream topping, combine 6 tablespoons of thick coconut cream with a pinch of salt in a small bowl and refrigerate until needed.
6
To assemble, scoop a generous portion of the sticky rice onto each serving plate. Top with fresh mango slices, and drizzle the salted coconut cream over the top for a final touch.
