Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Sticky Rice

    Rinse the sticky rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 1 hour. Drain and place in a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth. Steam for about 20-25 minutes until tender.

  2. 2

    Bread the Shrimp

    In a shallow bowl, combine flour, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat the egg. Place coconut flakes in a third bowl. Dip each shrimp in the flour mixture, then in the egg, and finally coat with coconut flakes.

  3. 3

    Fry the Shrimp

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the coconut-breaded shrimp in batches until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Serve

    On a plate, serve a portion of sticky rice, top with fried shrimp, drizzle sweet chili sauce over, and garnish with microgreens and chopped scallions.
