Instructions

1.
Rinse the sticky rice in a fine-mesh sieve under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.
2.
Place the rinsed rice in a saucepan and add 1 1/4 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Do not stir while cooking.
3.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the coconut sauce. In a separate saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over low heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Do not boil.
4.
Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork. Gently stir in about half of the coconut sauce, reserving the remaining sauce for drizzling.
5.
To assemble the parfaits, layer the sticky rice, diced mango, and coconut sauce in the parfait glasses or small bowls. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used.
6.
Drizzle the remaining coconut sauce over the top of each parfait.
7.
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and shredded coconut, if desired. Serve immediately or chill for later.

Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, let the cooked rice sit in the coconut sauce for at least 15 minutes before assembling the parfaits.

If you don't have time to cook the rice from scratch, you can use pre-cooked sticky rice pouches. Follow package directions and then proceed with adding the coconut sauce.

Adjust the sweetness of the coconut sauce by adding more or less sugar to taste. Consider the natural sweetness of your mangoes.

Toasted mung beans can be used as an alternative garnish for a different texture and flavor.
