- 1 ½ tbsps sweetener of choice
- ⅓ tsp sea salt
- 1 pinch of sea salt
- 1 ½ tsps cornstarch or tapioca flour

Instructions
- Rice Preparation: Soak long-grain sticky rice in cold water for 1-3 hours, ensuring complete moisture absorption and grain softening.
- Steaming Process: Transfer soaked rice to a steamer basket positioned over boiling water, steam for 35-45 minutes until rice becomes tender and translucent.
- Coconut Sauce Creation: Combine coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan, heating until the mixture reaches a gentle boil, creating a smooth, creamy base.

- Serving Sauce Preparation: Whisk additional coconut milk with sugar, salt, and cornstarch in a small saucepan, simmering over medium heat until the mixture thickens to a glossy consistency.
- Plating and Garnishing: Slice ripe mangoes into elegant wedges, arrange alongside the sticky rice, drizzle with the prepared coconut sauce, and sprinkle with toasted white sesame seeds or coconut flakes for enhanced texture and presentation.
Notes
- Soak Rice Thoroughly: Allow at least 1 hour of soaking to ensure soft, evenly cooked sticky rice with perfect texture and absorption.
- Steam with Precision: Use a bamboo steamer for authentic flavor and cook rice until translucent and tender, which typically takes 35-45 minutes.
- Balance Coconut Sauce: Create a harmonious blend of coconut milk, sugar, and salt to infuse rice with rich, creamy sweetness during absorption.
- Serve with Finesse: Arrange mango slices artfully and drizzle extra coconut sauce, then sprinkle toasted sesame seeds or coconut flakes for a professional presentation that elevates the dessert’s visual and textural appeal.
