Step-by-Step Instructions
To start making Mango Sticky Rice, I begin by soaking the glutinous rice in water for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect sticky texture! After soaking, I drain the rice and steam it in a bamboo steamer lined with cheesecloth for about 20-25 minutes until it’s tender. The aroma of the steaming rice fills my kitchen, and the anticipation builds. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
