Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Rice
Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- 2
Cook the Rice
Drain the soaked rice and transfer it to a steamer lined with cheesecloth or a banana leaf. Steam the rice over boiling water for about 20-25 minutes, or until the grains become translucent and sticky.
- 3
Prepare Coconut Sauce
In a saucepan, combine 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, remove it from the steamer and place it in a serving bowl. Pour half of the coconut sauce over the rice and mix gently to combine. Reserve the other half for drizzling on top before serving.
- 5
Serve
If using, line a serving plate with banana leaves. Spoon the sticky rice onto the leaves or into bowls. Drizzle the reserved coconut sauce over the top and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve warm.
