Preparation Steps
- Rinse the dry glutinous rice thoroughly in cold water, repeating 3-4 times until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in enough water for 8-24 hours.
- After soaking, drain the rice and transfer it to a lined bamboo steamer. Steam the rice for 20-25 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan, combine full-fat coconut milk, granulated sugar, and a pinch of sea salt. Heat until the sugar dissolves.
- Stir in the ube halaya and a few drops of ube extract until well combined, creating a rich mixture.
- Gently fold the steamed rice into the coconut mixture, stirring continuously for about 4 minutes.
- Let the mixture cool for about 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- For the coconut sauce, add additional coconut milk and sugar to the saucepan. Mix cornstarch with water and stir into the boiling coconut milk to thicken.
- Wash and peel the ripe mangoes. Slice them into thin strips.
- Plate the sticky rice, layer with mangoes, drizzle with coconut sauce, and sprinkle toasted coconut on top.
