240 ml coconut milk
03 -
100 g caster sugar
04 -
1.5 g fine salt
05 -
2 ripe mangoes

Rice papers
→ Garnish
07 -
Fresh mint leaves (optional)
08 -
Toasted sesame seeds (optional)
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Place glutinous rice in a bowl and cover with water. Soak for at least 4 hours or overnight to achieve optimal stickiness.
02 -
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.
03 -
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.
04 -
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.
05 -
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.
06 -
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.
07 -
Fold rice paper edges over the filling. Roll tightly into a firm roll, sealing ends. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
08 -
Arrange rolls seam side down on a plate. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow rolls to firm.
09 -
Slice rolls if preferred. Arrange on serving platter, drizzle with reserved coconut sauce, and garnish with fresh mint leaves and toasted sesame seeds.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
For best results, ensure glutinous rice is fully soaked and properly drained before steaming.
