How to Cook Thai Sticky Rice
1. Soak washed and clean sweet rice (as much as you want to make in one sitting) in water for at least half a day.
2. Drain rice and place it in cheesecloth and then place cheesecloth carefully in bamboo steamer.
3. Heat water in deep cooking pot until it boils. Make sure you put enough water in to last the whole process–45 minutes or more.
4. Place bamboo steamer containing cheesecloth and rice over pot, making sure that steamer does not come into contact with water.
5. Cover rice with cheesecloth and then cover steamer with an inverted plate or lid of some kind.
6. Steam for 45 minutes and check consistency. It’s done when the rice is tender.
7. Once rice is cooked, remove it from cheesecloth immediately.
8. Serve with sauces or as a unique side dish.
