Creating Mango Sticky Rice is as easy as following these steps:

1. Rinse Rice: Begin by thoroughly rinsing the sticky rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents clumping.

2. Soak Rice: Soak the rinsed rice in water for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

3. Steam Rice: Drain the soaked rice and place it in a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth. Steam over boiling water for about 25-30 minutes or until the rice is tender and translucent.

4. Prepare Coconut Sauce: While the rice is cooking, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves but do not bring it to a boil.

5. Combine Cooked Rice: Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and pour about ¾ of the coconut sauce over the warm rice. Stir gently to combine while the rice is still warm. Let it sit for about 15 minutes.

6. Plate the Dessert: To serve, place a portion of the sticky rice on a plate. Top with slices of ripe mango.

7. Drizzle Coconut Sauce: Generously drizzle the remaining coconut sauce over the top.

8. Garnish: Sprinkle sesame seeds or mung beans on top for added texture and flavor if desired.

By following these simple steps, you can create a stunning Mango Sticky Rice dessert that will surely leave your guests impressed!
