Sweet Sticky Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the rice and water in a saucepan; bring to a boil; cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
• While the rice cooks, mix together 1 1/2 cups coconut milk, 1 cup sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil; remove from heat and set aside. Stir the cooked rice into the coconut milk mixture; cover. Allow to cool for 1 hour.
• Make a sauce by mixing together 1/2 cup coconut milk, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the tapioca starch in a saucepan; bring to a boil.
• Place the sticky rice on a serving dish. Arrange the mangos on top of the rice. Pour the sauce over the mangos and rice. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Combine 6 cups water and rice in a large bowl and soak 8 hours to overnight.
• Drain rice and rinse with fresh water. Combine 2 cups water and rice in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer cooked rice to a bowl.
• Combine coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Heat until just boiling; pour mixture over cooked rice. Let stand 30 minutes. Serve warm with sliced mango.

Steps:

• Place your preferred amount of rice in the rice cooker and wash three times by filling pot with water and draining it off just until the rice is about to spill out of the pot.
• After washing, fill pot with water until the water reaches the first line of your middle finger when you stick your middle finger down and JUST touch the rice.
• Cook rice using cooker, which automatically shuts off or clicks to warm setting depending on your cooker.
• Your rice should be nice and sticky and soak up the great flavors of anything you are adding to it, and it should also be great by itself.
• *Note* Over-washing rice will give it a distinctive fishy flavor that is NOT good.

Steps:

• Place rice in fine-mesh strainer set over bowl. Rinse under running water, swishing with hands until water runs clear. Drain thoroughly.
• Bring rinsed rice, water, and salt to boil in saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, uncovered, until water level drops below surface of rice and small holes form, about 5 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until rice is tender and water is fully absorbed, about 15 minutes. Serve.

Steps:

• Cook rice, then set aside.
• Boil coconut milk in a deep pan or wok, until it is about 1/2.
• Add cooked rice and mix well. This takes a bit of time.
• Then add brown sugar and mix well. The rice mixture should be fairly dry.
• Pat down in a 9 X 12 pan.
• Add sesame seeds and coconut.
• Cool slightly and cut into serving pieces. Leave in the pan.
• For leftovers, place in refrigerator or freezer.
• Microwave each piece for about 1 minute to soften.
• Cooking time includes cooking of rice - about 20 minutes.
• Glutinous rice is also called sticky rice, sweet rice, waxy rice, botan rice, biroin chal, mochi rice, and pearl rice.

Steps:

• Soak the rice in a medium bowl with enough cold water to cover by 2 inches for at least 8 hours or overnight.
• Fill a large pot or wok that fits an 8-to-10-inch steamer basket with water (the water shouldn't touch the bottom of the steamer) and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Line the basket with two layers of damp cheesecloth or a damp lint-free linen towel. Drain the rice, spread it in an even layer in the basket and poke a few holes halfway through the layer. Cover the basket, insert it in the pot and steam for 25 minutes (see Cook's Note).
• Uncover the basket, securely hold an upside-down plate against the top of the rice and carefully flip the plate and basket. Set the plate on a work surface, lift off the basket and peel off the cheesecloth from the rice. Line the basket with the cheesecloth, then slide the rice onto the cheesecloth.
• Cover the basket, insert it in the pot again and steam until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Serve right away or keep warm over low heat for no longer than about 2 hours or the rice will harden and become inedible.

Steps:

• Soak the rice in a container that holds at least twice the volume of rice: Cover the rice with 2 to 3 inches of room-temperature water and soak for 6 to 24 hours. If you need to shorten the soaking time, soak the rice in warm (about 100 degree) water for 2 hours. The longer soak gives more flavor and a more even, tender texture, but the rice is perfectly edible with the shorter soak in warm water.
• Drain the rice and place in a steamer basket. Set the steamer basket over several inches of boiling water in a large pot or a wok. The rice must not be in or touching the boiling water. Cover and steam for 25 minutes, or until the rice is shiny and tender. Turn the rice over after about 20 minutes, so the top layer is on the bottom. Be careful that your pot doesn't run dry during steaming; add more water if necessary, making sure to keep it from touching the rice.
• Turn the cooked rice out onto a clean work surface. Use a long-handled wooden spoon to flatten it out a little, then turn it over on itself, first from one side, then from the other, a little like folding over dough as you knead. This helps get rid of any clumps; after several foldings, the rice will be an even round lump. Place it in a covered basket or in a serving bowl covered by a damp cloth or a lid. Serve warm or at room temperature, directly from the basket or bowl. The rice will dry out if exposed to the air for long as it cools, so keep covered until serving.

Steps:

• Put a little oil in bottom of pan (maybe about 1/2-1 tablespoon).
• Saute chopped onion until translucent. Add the chopped cilantro (no big stems) and saute a minute more.
• Add the rice, cooking until it is light brown (being careful not to burn).
• Combine the chicken broth and sugar, letting sugar dissolve. Then stir into rice until combined. Bring to a boil.
• Cover and let cook on low, med-low until rice is done, about 25-30 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Steps:

• Place the soaked sticky rice and steam for 10-15 minutes or until the rice is cooked.
• Mix the coconut cream, sugar and salt together and simmer over a low heat for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile remove the rice from steamer and cool it on a tray for one minute or until it is warm. Add the rice into the coconut cream mixture and combine well, remove the mixture from the heat and leave to rest for about 30 minutes minimum but preferably 2 hours.
• When ready to serve, divide the sticky rice between 8 separate dishes or plates.
• Peel and slice the mango, divide and arrange them over the sticky rice.
• Sprinkle with sesame seeds to serve.

Steps:

• Fill the steamer pot with water as full as you can without the bottom of the basket touching the water and set the pot over high heat. Drain the rice, being careful not to break the grains. When the water boils, place the rice in the bamboo basket and rest the basket in the top of the pot. Steam the rice over rapidly boiling water, stopping when it has barely turned glossy and is still dry (it will be cooked again), about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• While the rice is still hot, combine the coconut cream, coconut milk, coconut oil, sugar, and salt in a 2-quart saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the hot sticky rice, making sure every grain is separate and coated with the coconut syrup. The mixture will appear soupy at this point, but don't panic. Cover the pan tightly and leave the rice undisturbed at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, wipe the banana leaves clean with a damp cloth, then cut into 12 pieces, each 12 by 10 inches, with the 10-inch side parallel to the leaf grain. Have ready 24 toothpicks.
• After an hour, the rice will have absorbed the hot coconut syrup, cooled, and become firmer. At this point, it should be fully cooked but not soft, and tender enough to eat. Use a butter knife to divide it, directly in the saucepan, into quarters. Then divide each quarter into three equal wedges. Lay a piece of banana leaf, dull side up and with a long side facing you, on a work surface. Place a portion of the sticky rice in the center of the leaf. Use your fingers to form the rice into a flat, oblong bed parallel with the grain of the leaf. The bed should be about the length of a banana half and twice its width. Press a banana half firmly into the center of the rice bed. Using your fingers, gently fold the overhangs of the sticky rice over the banana half and manipulate it so it covers the banana entirely. With the banana leaf positioned in such a way that its grain is perpendicular to your body, lift up the left edge of the leaf and fold it along the grain over the filled sticky rice, tucking it in tightly. Continue to roll from left to right, forming a compact packet. Secure each end with a toothpick, positioned as close to the rice as possible. Trim off the overhangs, leaving only about 1 inch on each end. Repeat with the remaining banana leaves, sticky rice, and banana halves.
• To grill the packets, light natural wood charcoal and allow it to burn until you have low coals under a heavy layer of ash. Grill the packets directly over the coals, flipping them every 5 minutes, until the leaves are thoroughly charred and the packets are heated through. This should take 35 to 45 minutes. Alternatively, place an oven rack in the lowest position in the oven and preheat the broiler (if your broiler is adjustable, set it at low). Arrange the banana packets on a large sheet pan, place the pan on the oven rack, and broil the packets, flipping them every 5 minutes, until the leaves are charred and the packets are heated through, about 40 minutes (fewer, if your broiler automatically sets at high). Leave the packets to cool for about 15 minutes before serving.
• Leftover packets can be frozen, then thawed overnight in the refrigerator and baked in a preheated 350°F oven until softened and heated through, 30 minutes.
