Place glutinous rice in a bowl and cover with water. Soak for at least 4 hours or overnight to achieve optimal stickiness.

Drain soaked rice thoroughly. Transfer to a cheesecloth-lined steamer basket and steam over simmering water for 25–30 minutes, until grains turn tender and translucent.

Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium flame, stirring until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to a gentle boil. Remove pan from heat and reserve several tablespoons of the sauce for serving.

While rice is still hot, mix it gently with the majority of the coconut sauce. Allow the rice to absorb flavours for 10–15 minutes, uncovered.

Peel mangoes and slice into thin strips. Submerge one rice paper in warm water for 10–15 seconds to soften. Lay the rice paper flat on a clean damp towel.

With damp hands, spread a thin layer of coconut sticky rice in the center of the rice paper, leaving edges clear. Top with mango slices. For additional flavour, incorporate optional shredded coconut.
