Xôi Xoài

Xôi Xoài is a delightful Vietnamese dessert featuring sweet coconut sticky rice paired with ripe mango slices. This dish is not only visually appealing but also offers a harmonious blend of textures and flavors.

Ingredients

• Glutinous rice - 150 grams
• Coconut milk - 200 milliliters
• Sugar - 30 grams
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Ripe mango - 1 medium (about 200 grams)
• Sesame seeds (optional) - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
2. After soaking, drain the rice and place it in a steamer lined with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel. Steam the rice for about 30 minutes until it becomes translucent and tender.
3. While the rice is steaming, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is heated through but not boiling.
4. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and pour about 150 milliliters of the coconut milk mixture over it. Stir to combine and let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
5. Peel the ripe mango and slice it into thin pieces. Set aside.
6. To serve, mold the coconut sticky rice onto a plate or in a small bowl, then arrange the mango slices on the side. Drizzle with the remaining coconut milk mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
