Ingredients:
* For the Glutinous Rice:
– 1 cup uncooked glutinous rice
– 1 can (400ml) full-fat coconut milk
– 1/4 cup light brown sugar
– 1 tbsp palm sugar syrup
* For the Mango Topping:
– 1 large ripe mango, flesh only, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water, for thickening the sauce
– 1 tsp vegetable oil
– 1 tsp lime juice
– Salt to taste
* Optional garnishes:
– Roasted cashews (for crunch)
– Toasted coconut flakes (for added flavor)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Glutinous Rice
Place the washed and drained glutinous rice in a medium-sized pot with 2 cups of water. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Once the water starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot tightly with a lid. Simmer the rice for about 15 minutes or until all the water has been absorbed. Turn off the heat and let the rice sit covered for another 10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
Step 2: Make the Coconut Milk Sauce
In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk, light brown sugar, and palm sugar syrup. Heat the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly until the sugar has dissolved. Continue heating the sauce for another minute, but do not bring it to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
Step 3: Cook the Glutinous Rice in Coconut Milk Sauce
Add the fluffed glutinous rice to the coconut milk sauce mixture. Mix well using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. Divide the rice evenly among four serving bowls.
Step 4: Make the Mango Topping
In a separate bowl, mix together the mango cubes, cornstarch slurry, vegetable oil, lime juice, and salt. Toss everything well to coat the mango cubes evenly. Set aside.
Step 5: Assemble the Dessert
To assemble the dessert, place a scoop of warm glutinous rice onto each serving plate. Top the rice with the prepared mango topping. Sprinkle the roasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions evenly over the top. Serve immediately.
Note: If you prefer a more liquid consistency for your mango topping, simply increase the amount of cornstarch slurry used. You may also adjust the sweetness levels by adding more or less palm sugar syrup.
