Tips
- Soaking the rice overnight is a must for faster steaming and improved texture.
- Steaming creates a chewier texture compared to cooking in a pot or rice cooker.
- The salt in the coconut milk provides a balance between sweetness and saltiness.
- Serve the dish freshly made for the best experience.
- Use ripe but firm mangoes so they have a nice bite.
