Sticky rice or Glutinous is traditionally eaten using only the right hand. It is the stable food of Northern and Northeastern of Thais such as green papaya salad-som tum Thai, spicy chicken salad-larb gai, and sliced grilled pork spicy salad-nam tok moo. Thais normally use the bamboo steamer cooking the sticky rice and you can buy it online. Let's get started ka.
Ingredient
2 cups sticky rice, selling in Oriental markets
Bamboo steamer, Sticky Rice Steamer Pot Basket
Instructions
Put the rice in a bowl and pour in cold water about 2 inches above the rice. Clean the rice until water becomes clear. Sock it at least 3 hours or overnight. Drain and transfer to a bamboo basket, which is specially made for steaming the sticky rice. Pour the water into the bottom of the steamer to rolling boil. Lower the heat and cover and steam about 20-25 minutes or until rice swells and is glistening and tender. Use the wooden spoon to flip or mix the rice. The cooking time will vary depending on the socking time. I prefer to sock it overnight. When the sticky is cooked, keep it in the glass container or sticky rice basket calls kratib rice(กระติบข้าวเหนียว) to prevent it from drying out. When you have a leftover rice, store it in the container and keep in the refrigerator. Whenever you want just sprinkle a few drops of water and cover, warm in the microwave for several minutes or until its tender again. Serve warm sticky rice with som tum, larb, or nam tok moo. Enjoy ka!
