Sticky Rice

By CheeseDiva

Ingredients

• 1 1 1 cup glutinous (sweet) rice, preferably long-grain
• Coconut Milk

Preparation

Step 1

Put rice in a bowl and rinse several times in cold water until water is clear, not milky, then drain. Cover rice with coconut milk and let soak for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
Drain rice using a fine-meshed sieve or colander (line with cheesecloth if colander holes are too large). Place rice over a pot of rapidly simmering water (don’t allow water to touch sieve) and steam, covered, for 15 minutes.
Remove lid and flip rice over. Continue steaming, covered, for 10 minutes, until rice is translucent and glossy. Taste to make sure rice is completely cooked; it may take up to 10 minutes more. Turn off heat. Fluff rice with a wooden spoon, then cover and let rest for 5 minutes.
