Method
Rinse the glutinous rice in several changes of water until it runs clear.
Cover the rice with plenty of water and leave to soak for at least 4 hours, or overnight, then drain thoroughly.
Line a steamer basket with muslin, add the rice, and steam over boiling water for 20 minutes, turning once, until tender and glossy.
Warm the coconut milk with the sugar and salt in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until dissolved, then pour half over the hot rice and stir gently to coat, reserving the rest.
Cover the coated rice and leave to absorb the coconut milk for 10 minutes.
Slice the mangoes into thick pieces.
Plate the sticky rice with the mango, drizzle with the reserved coconut sauce, and sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds.
