Rinse the sticky rice until the water runs mostly clear, then soak it for 4 hours.
Steam the soaked rice for 20 to 25 minutes, until tender and glossy.
Warm coconut milk with sugar and salt in a small pan, stirring until dissolved.
Pour most of the coconut mixture over the hot rice and let it rest for 10 minutes so the rice absorbs the flavor.
Plate the sticky rice with sliced mango and drizzle the remaining coconut sauce on top.
Finish with toasted sesame seeds if you want extra texture.
Recipe Lore
Legend says this mango sticky rice recipe appeared after a late-night study session when
all that was left in the kitchen was rice, one mango, and coconut milk. One bite later,
it was promoted from emergency snack to celebration dessert.
