# What You'll Need:
01 -
1 cup glutinous rice
02 -
1 cup coconut milk
03 -
½ cup sugar
04 -
¼ teaspoon salt
05 -
2 ripe mangoes
06 -
Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
07 -
Toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
08 -
Rice papers (for rolling)
# How to Make It:
01 -
Soak 1 cup of glutinous rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight to achieve sticky texture.
02 -
Drain the soaked rice and steam it in a cheesecloth-lined steamer over boiling water for 25-30 minutes until tender and translucent.
03 -
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.
04 -
Mix the cooked rice gently with the remaining coconut sauce; let it absorb flavors for 10-15 minutes.
05 -
Peel and thinly slice the ripe mangoes into strips for rolling.
06 -
Soften one rice paper sheet by dipping it into warm water for 10-15 seconds; lay flat on a damp towel.
07 -
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.
08 -
Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly like a spring roll; repeat for all rolls.
09 -
Place rolls seam side down on a plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
10 -
Before serving, slice rolls if desired; arrange on a platter, drizzle reserved coconut sauce, and garnish with mint leaves and toasted sesame seeds.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Use a sharp, moistened knife to cut rolls cleanly without sticking.
02 -
Store rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; best enjoyed within 24 hours.
03 -
Rice paper can become brittle if frozen; thaw gently in the fridge without reheating.
04 -
Keep hands slightly wet when handling sticky rice to prevent sticking.
05 -
Use glutinous rice for authentic sticky texture; jasmine rice is a less sticky alternative.
06 -
Experiment by infusing coconut milk with pandan leaves for extra fragrance.
