Method
Preparing Sticky Rice
- 1
Soak the Rice
Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in enough water to cover it for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

Cook the Rice
Drain the soaked rice and place it in a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth. Steam the rice over boiling water for about 30-40 minutes, or until it's tender and sticky.

Prepare the Coconut Sauce
In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Do not bring it to a boil.

Mix Rice with Coconut Sauce
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and pour about 3/4 of the coconut sauce over it. Stir well to combine and let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
