In northern Thailand and Laos, sticky rice is served at every meal, much like bread in Europe. Diners form a couple of tablespoons of rice at a time into a small ball, then use it to pick up a chunk of meat or vegetable, or to soak up sauces. Be sure to purchase sticky rice - there is no substitution. Ingredients:
2 cups sticky rice, also called glutinous rice (do not substitute) |
1 quart water (for steamer) |
Directions:
1. Rinse rice several times until water runs clear. Soak in water for 12 hours or overnight then drain.
2. Line a saucepan steamer or bamboo basket with cheese cloth or similar fine-weave cotton cloth.
3. Put rice in the steamer.
4. Steam for 45 minutes until rice is tender and translucent.
5. Remove from heat.
6. Fluff rice with a fork.
