Thai Mango Sticky Rice Dessert

• Wash the rice in cold water 3 to 4 times or until the water runs clear. Add water and soak the rice for 4 to 6 hours or overnight.
  1 cup Glutinous rice
• Drain and add the rice to a muslin cloth (or cheesecloth, any white cotton towel, etc.) and fold the edges over the rice.
• Place this in the steamer with boiling water and steam for 25 to 30 minutes.
• Add coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a pan on medium heat and mix until sugar is dissolved. This should be hot while you pour over the rice. So if you prepare it early, warm it again before pouring it over the rice.
  1 cup Coconut milk,¼ teaspoon Salt,½ cup Sugar
• When the rice is done, transfer it to a mixing bowl and break any lumps, if there are any. Pour the hot, sweetened coconut over the rice. Mix well.
• After 15-20 minutes, fold the bottom part of the rice up to the top so that the liquid is uniformly distributed, and let it sit for another 20 to 30 minutes. The rice will have absorbed all the liquid and looks shiny at this point.

Making of the salted coconut sauce:

  ½ cup Coconut milk,¼ to ½ teaspoon Salt,1 teaspoon Rice flour,1 tablespoon Water
• Bring it to a boil and simmer until the sauce thickens.
