Soak sticky rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Drain the soaked rice and place it in a steamer lined with cheesecloth.

Steam the rice over boiling water for about 30-40 minutes until tender and translucent.

In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, and salt over low heat until sugar dissolves.

Reserve a small amount of coconut milk mixture for drizzling later.

Pour the remaining coconut milk mixture over the steamed sticky rice and mix gently.

Cover the rice and let it sit for about 30 minutes to absorb the coconut flavor.

Peel and slice the mango into thin pieces.

To serve, place a portion of sticky rice on a plate, arrange mango slices beside it.

Drizzle reserved coconut milk over the rice and garnish with sesame seeds or mung beans.
