The Method

1
Cook the Noodles: Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Add the sweet rice noodles and cook according to package instructions (usually 5-7 minutes), or until tender. Drain well and set aside.
2
Prepare the Coconut Milk Sauce: In a separate saucepan, combine the remaining coconut milk (reserve 1/4 cup), sugar, salt, and glutinous rice flour. Whisk until smooth.
3
Cook the Sauce: Cook the coconut milk mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Stir in pandan extract if using.
4
Combine Noodles and Sauce: Add the cooked rice noodles to the saucepan with the coconut milk sauce. Stir gently to coat the noodles evenly.
5
Assemble the Bowls: Divide the sticky rice noodles into serving bowls. Arrange sliced mangoes around the noodles.
6
Drizzle and Garnish: Drizzle the remaining 1/4 cup of coconut milk over each bowl. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, if desired.
7
Serve: Serve immediately or chill for a refreshing dessert.

Chef's Tips

Use high-quality coconut milk for the best flavor and texture.

Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference. Taste the coconut milk sauce while cooking and add more sugar if needed.

Toasted sesame seeds add a nice nutty flavor and visual appeal.

If the coconut milk sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of water to thin it out.

For a warmer dessert, serve the noodles and sauce warm. For a refreshing treat, chill the bowls before serving.
