  • 3 Cups of Cooked Sticky rice 
  • 3 Mangoes 
  • 2 Cups of Coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Salt

Method:

  1. Wash the rice in cold water, vigorously swishing the rice, 5 times or until the water runs clear. Let soak in water for at least 4 hours or     overnight. 
  2. Drain the rice very well and steam the rice for 25-30 minutes.
  3. While the rice is cooking, put the coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a pot. Cook, stirring, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Keep warm.
  4. Heat the coconut milk in a pot over medium heat.
