Place glutinous rice in a bowl and cover with water. Soak for at least 4 hours or overnight to develop the proper sticky texture.

Drain the soaked rice and transfer to a cheesecloth-lined steamer set over simmering water. Cover and steam for 25-30 minutes, or until the grains are translucent and tender.

In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, granulated sugar, and salt. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves and the mixture just comes to a simmer. Remove from heat and reserve several tablespoons of the sauce for serving.

Transfer steamed rice to a bowl. Pour the remaining coconut sauce over the hot rice, mixing gently to coat. Allow the mixture to rest for 10-15 minutes, so the rice absorbs the flavors.

Peel the mangoes and slice into long, thin strips suitable for rolling.

Fold the rice paper sides over the filling and roll tightly into a cylindrical shape. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
