Let’s make it.

Soak the glutinous rice in plenty of water for at least four hours, then drain. This soaking time is additional to the displayed prep time.
Steam in a lined steamer over simmering water until fully tender, about 25–30 minutes; check water does not boil dry.
Warm coconut milk, sugar and salt. Fold three-quarters into the hot rice and let it absorb for 10 minutes.
Serve small portions with sliced mango and the remaining warm coconut sauce.

A little kitchen note

Use glutinous rice rather than jasmine rice; they behave differently. Cool and refrigerate leftover rice promptly.
