Add to a saucepan with water and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover, cooking for 15-20 minutes until all water has been absorbed.
Meanwhile, combine the coconut milk and sweetener in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes until bubbly, stirring constantly. Season with a pinch of salt.
Add the tapioca flour or cornstarch to the water and stir, adding to the remaining sauce and whisking to combine, heating over medium heat until thickened.
Pour about 2/3 of the sauce into the cooked rice and stir to combine. Let it cool completely.
Spoon the rice into a small, rounded bowl to make 8 mounds and turn over on a serving plate or bowl.
Arrange the mango around the rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds and a sprig of fresh mint. Enjoy!
