First you must venture to an Asian cookware store (or you could order it online, but if you want a real adventure...) and acquire one of these.. You can make the sweet rice without this.. But if you want to be authentic and do it the right way, you will buy one of these pots!
Oh and while you're out you might as well swing by an Asian grocery store and pick up some sweet rice (they may sell it other places, but don't try this with regular rice.. well you can, but you're not going to get the full delicious effect), Thai coconut milk, and a mango.
After you return home from your adventure, you must wash the rice.. Then cover it in a bowl of water overnight (Waiting is the hardest part..)

After you return home from your adventure, you must wash the rice.. Then cover it in a bowl of water overnight (Waiting is the hardest part..)After your rice has been soaking in it's own goodness all night long, put it in your awesome new basket.
Then fill your awesome new pot with some water (we only want to steam the rice.. Sorry I don't have exact measurements... Just don't fill your pot up all the way to the basket). Boil the water then put the basket of rice in, cover, and cook 30 min.
Meanwhile.. and this is the really delicious part.. You need to cook your coconut milk, add a cup of sugar, and a 1/4 tsp of salt. You want to serve this warm over the rice. Oh and make sure to taste it while it's cooking.. I'm sure it's the most fattening thing in the world, but it's worth every calorie! 
While you're binging on coconut milk, make time to cut up your mango, this is something I struggle with if you need help watch this videohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvLdPjpELyU
I like it because it has fun music and the guy is SUPER boring!!!
Grab some rice, make sure it's swimming in coconut milk (am I the only person obsessed with coconut milk?), add the mango and... writing this makes me want to make some right now! My friend Nicole told me it's really good with other fruit too (strawberries!)!! Oh if you want to be really authentic put some chopped up peanuts on top and/or toasted sesame seeds

Rachel- I have to admit I am not a fan of coconut at all! So next time we hang, you need to make me some of this and change my mind, because you are OBSESSED and you always talk about this meal. I want to try it!
Oh Rachel! This is the coolest thing in the entire world! Do you think I could find that pot/basket here in the SLC? I so want to try and make this! Everytime you mention it my mouth starts to water! Miss you!
Mmmmm... yummy. I was sad when we went to a Thai restaurant a couple weeks ago and they didn't have mango sticky rice on the dessert menu!!! What kind of Thai place is that??!!
Don't forget to try fresh pineapple too, and papaya is pretty good in it as well.
