Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sticky Rice

    Soak the sticky rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Coconut Mixture

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

  3. 3

    Mix Rice with Coconut Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the drained sticky rice with the coconut mixture. Mix well until the rice is evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Prepare Banana Leaves

    Soften the banana leaves by briefly passing them over an open flame or boiling water. Cut them into rectangles large enough to wrap the rice and bananas.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Khao Tom Mud

    Place a spoonful of the sticky rice mixture onto a piece of banana leaf, add a baby banana on top, and then cover with more sticky rice. Fold the banana leaf around the mixture to create a package.

  6. 6

    Steam the Packages

    Place the wrapped packages in a steamer and steam for about 30-40 minutes until the rice is fully cooked and sticky.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove the packages from the steamer, unwrap, and serve warm. Enjoy your Khao Tom Mud!
