Ingredients
  • 1 cup Thai sweet, sticky, or glutinous rice
  • 4 cups water
Directions
  1. Rinse the rice well under cold water for at least a minute. Then, pour the rice and water into a large bowl and let sit for at least 3 hours.
  2. Drain the rice in a colander and rinse it again for 1 minute under cold water.
  3. Line a bamboo steamer with parchment paper and spread out the rice in an even layer. Fill a pot of water with at least 2 inches of water. Make sure that when you put the bamboo steamer on top of the pot, the water is not touching the bottom of the steamer.
  4. Bring the water to a boil, then place the steamer on top. Reduce heat to medium high and steam the rice for 35-45 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and chewy.
  5. Serve the rice right away as desired.
