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, peeled and sliced
Special equipment needed:
- Steamer basket
- Mixing bowl

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 transfer it to a steamer basket. Steam the rice over high heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through.
3. While the rice is cooking, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved.
4. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a mixing bowl. Pour the coconut milk mixture over the rice and stir until the rice is evenly coated.
5. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the rice sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the coconut milk.
6. To serve, divide the sticky rice into bowls and top with sliced mango.
