Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup glutinous rice
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 ripe mangoes
  • Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
  • Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
  • Rice papers (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Soak rice: Soak 1 cup of glutinous rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight to achieve sticky texture.
  2. Steam rice: Drain the soaked rice and steam it in a cheesecloth-lined steamer over boiling water for 25-30 minutes until tender and translucent.
  3. Prepare coconut sauce: While steaming, heat 1 cup coconut milk, ½ cup sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture just boils; remove from heat and reserve a few tablespoons of sauce.
  4. Mix rice and sauce: Mix the cooked rice gently with the remaining coconut sauce; let it absorb flavors for 10-15 minutes.
  5. Prepare mango: Peel and thinly slice the ripe mangoes into strips for rolling.
  6. Soften rice paper: Soften one rice paper sheet by dipping it into warm water for 10-15 seconds; lay flat on a damp towel.
  7. Assemble rolls: With wet hands, spread a thin layer of sticky rice on the center of the rice paper, leaving edges free; add mango slices and optional shredded coconut.
  8. Roll up: Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly like a spring roll; repeat for all rolls.
  9. Chill rolls: Place rolls seam side down on a plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
  10. Serve: Before serving, slice rolls if desired; arrange on a platter, drizzle reserved coconut sauce, and garnish with mint leaves and toasted sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Soaking the glutinous rice overnight can improve texture.
  • Use wet hands to prevent rice from sticking while spreading on rice paper.
  • Chilling the rolls helps them firm up and makes slicing easier.
