Step-by-Step Instructions for Mango Sticky Rice
- Rinse sticky rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak for at least 1 hour or overnight. After soaking, drain and steam over simmering water for 20-25 minutes until tender and sticky.
- Pour coconut milk into a saucepan and heat over medium-low heat. Stir in sugar and salt, mixing until dissolved. Cook for about 5 minutes, thickening slightly.
- Once rice is cooked, transfer to a bowl and stir in half of the warm coconut sauce. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add diced mango. Sprinkle brown sugar over the mango and cook for 3-5 minutes until caramelized. Add lime zest and juice, and cook for another minute.
- Serve by spooning sticky rice onto a plate, topping with caramelized mango, drizzling remaining coconut sauce, and garnishing with mint leaves.

Notes
For the best texture, soak the sticky rice for at least 6 hours or overnight. Always use full-fat coconut milk for richness. Serve caramelized mango warm for contrast with cold rice. Plate warming enhances enjoyment.
