Instructions
Add some water to a steamer, and bring to the boil.
Drain the rice, and transfer onto a clean tea towel. Pat down to evenly cover the central part of the towel, then fold in the top and sides so it is folded into a kind of pillow.
Cover and steam for 20 mins.
While the rice is steaming, mix the coconut sauce ingredients in a separate bowl.
Add the steamed rice while still hot, and mix well. Cover and leave for 45 mins.
To make the salty coconut topping, place the rice flour in a saucepan to start with, and add small amounts of of coconut milk while stirring to prevent lumps. Add all remaining salty coconut topping ingredients, and cook for 3-4 mins until it thickens a bit.
Serve with mango.
