Sticky Rice Ingredients

Preparation

Cooking Directions

1. Soak the Rice

Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rinsed rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.

2. Steam the Rice

Drain the soaked rice and place it in a steamer lined with cheesecloth. Steam over boiling water for about 30-40 minutes until the rice is translucent and sticky.

3. Prepare Coconut Sauce

In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Do not boil.

4. Combine Rice and Sauce

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Pour half of the coconut sauce over the rice and gently mix to combine. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

5. Serve

Serve the sticky rice warm, drizzled with the remaining coconut sauce and sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds.
