Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup water
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup light coconut milk
• 1 cup black sticky rice
• ¼ cup light coconut milk
• ¼ cup shredded unsweetened coconut, divided
• 2 mangos, sliced into lengthwise strips

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk 1/2 cup coconut milk, sugar, and salt together in a bowl until sugar dissolves and coconut sauce is smooth.

Step 2

Combine rice, water, 1/4 cup coconut milk, and 1 tablespoon shredded coconut in a saucepan over medium heat; simmer, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes. Decrease heat to low and cook until rice is sticky and soft, 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 3

Pour 1/2 of the coconut sauce over rice; stir and fluff with a fork. Add remaining coconut sauce to rice mixture and stir well. Remove saucepan from heat and let stand until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.

Step 4

Cook and stir remaining shredded coconut in a skillet over medium-low heat until lightly toasted, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Ladle about 1/2 cup rice mixture into each serving bowl or plate. Arrange 4 to 5 slices mango on each serving; sprinkle toasted coconut over mango.
