Step 1
Rinse sticky rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water until water runs nearly clear, ~2 minutes.
Step 2
Add rinsed rice and 1.5 cups water to a pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, ~5 minutes.
Step 3
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until all water is absorbed and rice is translucent, ~15 minutes.
Step 4
While rice cooks, pour coconut milk into a small saucepan. Scoop reserved cream from the top and set aside.
Step 5
Add palm sugar and salt to the saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring until sugar dissolves, ~3 minutes.
Step 6
Remove from heat. Pour hot coconut sauce over cooked rice. Stir gently to combine. Let rest 10 minutes.
Step 7
Heat a dry skillet over medium. Add sesame seeds, shaking frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden, ~2 minutes.
Step 8
Peel mangoes and slice flesh away from the pit. Arrange slices on a plate or cutting board.
Step 9
Spoon sticky rice onto plates. Arrange mango slices alongside. Drizzle reserved coconut cream over rice.
Step 10
