Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk, divided
• 2 cups uncooked glutinous (sticky) white rice, rinsed
• 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and cubed
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 teaspoon cornstarch

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Cover rice with several inches of fresh water in a microwave-safe bowl; let stand for 30 minutes. Drain off water so rice is covered by 1/4 inch of water.

Step 2

Microwave rice, covered, on High until water is mostly absorbed but rice is still wet, about 10 minutes; stir and cook until almost dry, 4 minutes more.

Step 3

Combine 1/2 coconut milk and 1 cup sugar in a bowl, stirring until sugar dissolved. Pour over rice; stir until rice coated. Cover and let rice stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Step 4

Pour remaining 1/2 can coconut milk into a saucepan; whisk in remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, cornstarch, and salt until smooth. Bring mixture to a simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly; simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; cool.

Step 5

Scoop rice into individual serving bowls; top each serving with about 2 tablespoons coconut sauce and several mango pieces.
