Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Soak the Rice

    Soak the rinsed rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

  3. 3

    Steam the Rice

    Drain the soaked rice and place it in a steamer lined with cheesecloth. Steam for about 25-30 minutes until cooked and sticky.

  4. 4

    Prepare Coconut Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat gently while stirring until the sugar dissolves. Do not boil.

  5. 5

    Combine Rice and Sauce

    Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a serving bowl and pour the coconut sauce over it. Mix gently until well combined.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Garnish with sesame seeds if desired and serve warm or at room temperature.
