Foi Thong Mango Sticky Rice Recipe

Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 cup glutinous rice
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 ripe mango, sliced
- 1/2 cup Foi Thong (golden egg threads)

Special equipment needed:
- Steamer
- Rice cooker or pot with lid
- Mixing bowl
- Serving dish

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Rinse the glutinous rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 30 minutes.

2. Drain the rice and place it in a rice cooker or pot with 1 1/2 cups of water. Cook the rice according to the manufacturer's instructions or until it is tender and fully cooked.

3. In a separate pot, heat the coconut milk, sugar, and salt over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and set aside.

4. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a mixing bowl and pour the coconut milk mixture over it. Mix well until the rice is evenly coated.

5. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the rice to absorb the coconut milk.

6. In the meantime, prepare the mango by slicing it into thin pieces.

7. To assemble the dish, place a serving of sticky rice on a plate or bowl. Top it with sliced mango and Foi Thong.
