Strain the rice and rinse again.

Add 1/2 cup water onto the rice and fold the paper over the rice so it’s completely covered.

Add enough water to fill the steamer to just below the basket.

Steam over medium-high heat until the rice is tender and soft, about 70 minutes.

Turn the heat off and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.

Transfer the rice to a medium bowl and pour 3/4 cup of the hot coconut milk over it.

Cover and let stand until the rice has absorbed all of the milk, 25 to 30 minutes.

Top with mango, sesame seeds and the remaining coconut milk.
