Sweet Mango Sticky Rice Rolls (Print)

Mango and coconut sticky rice wrapped in rice paper and garnished with mint and toasted sesame seeds.

# 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

# Steps:

01 - Place glutinous rice in a bowl and cover with water. Soak for at least 4 hours or overnight to ensure 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, until grains are translucent and tender.
03 - In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, granulated sugar, and salt. Heat over medium, stirring until sugar dissolves and the mixture just simmers. Remove from heat and set aside several tablespoons for serving.
04 - Transfer steamed rice to a mixing bowl. Pour remaining coconut sauce over hot rice, gently stir to coat, and allow to rest 10–15 minutes for flavor absorption.
05 - Peel mangoes and slice into long, thin strips suitable for rolling.
06 - Briefly submerge one sheet of rice paper 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 in the center of the rice paper, leaving edge clearance. Arrange mango strips over rice. Optional: add shredded coconut.
08 - Fold in the sides, then roll tightly into a cylinder. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
09 - Place assembled rolls seam side down on a plate. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow proper firmness.
10 - If desired, slice rolls with a sharp, moistened knife. Arrange on a platter, drizzle with reserved coconut sauce, and garnish with fresh mint leaves and toasted sesame seeds.

# Notes:

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