Rinse the jasmine rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
~5 min - 2
In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed.
~20 min - 3
While the rice is cooking, in another saucepan, heat 200ml of coconut milk with 100g of sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of salt over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm, but not boiling. Remove from heat.
~10 min - 4
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Pour the warm sweetened coconut milk over the rice and gently fold to combine. Cover and let it sit for 15 minutes to allow the rice to absorb the liquid and become sticky.
~15 min - 5
While the rice is resting, prepare the spicy mango sauce. Peel and dice the mangoes. In a small bowl, combine the diced mangoes, minced ginger, chopped red chili pepper, remaining 200ml coconut milk, remaining 50g sugar, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and lime juice. Mash gently with a fork to create a chunky sauce.
~10 min - 6
To serve, spoon the sticky rice into serving bowls. Top generously with the spicy mango sauce and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.

Tips
- Adjust the amount of chili pepper to your preferred level of heat. For a milder version, remove all seeds and membranes.
