Sweet Mango Sticky Rice Rolls (Print-Friendly Format)

Ripe mango and sticky rice wrapped in rice paper, finished with coconut sauce, mint, and sesame seeds.

# Required Ingredients:

→ Main Components

01 - 250 g glutinous rice
02 - 240 ml coconut milk
03 - 100 g granulated sugar
04 - 0.25 teaspoon fine salt
05 - 2 ripe mangoes
06 - 8 sheets rice paper

→ Garnish

07 - Fresh mint leaves
08 - Toasted sesame seeds

# How to Make It:

01 - Place glutinous rice in a bowl and cover with water. Soak for at least 4 hours or overnight to develop the proper sticky texture.
02 - 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.
03 - 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.
04 - 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.
05 - Peel the mangoes and slice into long, thin strips suitable for rolling.
06 - Submerge a rice paper sheet in warm water for 10-15 seconds until pliable. Lay flat on a damp kitchen towel.
07 - With moistened hands, spread a thin layer of sticky rice onto the center of the rice paper, leaving the edges clear. Top with mango slices and any optional shredded coconut.
08 - Fold the rice paper sides over the filling and roll tightly into a cylindrical shape. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
09 - Place the completed rolls seam side down on a plate. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
10 - Before serving, slice rolls if desired. Arrange on a platter, drizzle with reserved coconut sauce, and garnish with fresh mint leaves and toasted sesame seeds.

# Additional Information:

01 - Use a sharp, moistened knife to achieve clean cuts and prevent sticking.
02 - For best texture, enjoy rolls within 24 hours; store tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
03 - Handle sticky rice with damp hands for easier assembly.
04 - Infusing the coconut milk with pandan leaves can impart additional fragrance.
05 - Jasmine rice may be substituted but will yield a less sticky texture.
06 - Avoid freezing rice paper rolls as the wrappers may become brittle.
