Sweet Coconut Sticky Rice Recipes

SWEET COCONUT STICKY RICE

Steps:

• Don't skip this step! Soaking the rice will allow the grain to swell slightly and is key to creating authentic sticky rice.
• To do this, simply add your rice to a large bowl and submerge with water for 4-5 hours, or overnight. In a pinch, you could try to soak for two hours - but I definitely wouldn't go below that.
• Once soaked, drain and rinse thoroughly. The soaking water can be used to water plants.
• Depending on the size of your cooking pot, you need to add enough rice to come to around 2 inches below where the bamboo steamer basket is. I used three cups of water.
• Then line the steamer basket with either a cheesecloth or banana leaf and place the rice on top of it.
• Place a lid over the pot and steam for around 20 minutes, until soft but with a slight 'bite.' See the video and photo's for more guidance. Once ready, remove from the steamer and set aside in a bowl.
• In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk, cane sugar, salt, and pandan leaves (or lime leaves) and heat on low for a few minutes. Then pour half of the liquid in with the rice and mix well.
• Place the sauce back over the heat. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the starch and water and mix well, making sure it's lump-free.
• Add the starch mixture to the remaining milk and continue heating on low until the sauce thickens. Then you're ready to serve (read the post for serving options).
• Keep any leftover coconut sticky rice in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, you can re-steam or microwave, until warmed.

Steps:

• Stir rice, coconut milk, and water together in a saucepan. Dissolve sugar into the liquid.
• Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, place a cover on the saucepan, and simmer until the majority of the liquid has been absorbed by the rice, 15 to 20 minutes. Leaving saucepan on the burner, turn heat off and let rice steam until sticky, about 5 to 10 minutes more. Garnish with shredded coconut.

SWEET COCONUT STICKY RICE

Steps:

• Soak 3 cups of uncooked sticky rice overnight or for at least 2-4 hours. In a medium pot with 6 cups of water, bring it to a boil then add in the sticky rice. Stir frequently so it won't get stuck at the bottom.
• When the liquid is almost absorb, add in the coconut milk and sugar. Still stirring frequently. When the sticky rice is soft, turn off the stove.
• Rip some foil papers into squares. You can also use banana leaves if you have some.
• Put the sticky rice in the center. Fold the bottom up and roll then fold the sides. Becareful when picking it up because it's still hot.
• Put the folded sticky rice into the steamer and steam for 30 minutes. You will know it's ready when the sticky rice is soft.
• While the sticky rice are steaming, cut up some fruits.
• Eat it as a snack or serve with fruits as a dessert. You can make a lot of these and freeze them in ziploc bags or put them in the fridge too. Enjoy!
