Method
Preparation of Sticky Rice
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the glutinous rice in a large bowl and rinse it under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.
- 2
Soak the Rice
Soak the rinsed rice in enough water to cover it for at least 4 hours or overnight. This softens the grains and allows for even cooking.
- 3
Drain the Rice
After soaking, drain the rice well and set it aside.
Cooking Sticky Rice
- 4
Prepare the Steamer
Fill a steamer pot with water and bring it to a boil. If you don’t have a traditional steamer, you can use a heatproof plate or a basket lined with cheesecloth in a pot.
- 5
Steam the Rice
Place the soaked and drained rice in the steamer basket. Spread it out evenly and cover with a lid. Steam for about 20-30 minutes, or until the rice is translucent and sticky.
Preparing Coconut Sauce
- 6
Make Coconut Sauce
In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Do not let it boil.

Serve the Sticky Rice
Once the sticky rice is done, remove it from the steamer. Serve it warm on a plate, drizzled with the coconut sauce. Optionally, sprinkle with sesame seeds or shredded coconut.
