Use 2 cups uncooked sticky rice for 6 servings. Wash the rice 2 to 3 times, add 1/4 teaspoon salt, then stir thoroughly. Cook in a six cup pan with 2 2/3 cups water. Keep boiling for 3 minutes, then pour off water. Cover and continue cooking over very low heat for 30 minutes.
Sticky Rice with Coconut Milk
To prepare sticky rice with coconut milk, cook sticky rice as above indicated. Add 4 to 5 tablespoons heavy coconut milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sugar after pouring off water, and continue cooking over low heat for 30 minutes.
NOTES: Since glutinous rice is not easy to cook for the first time it can be steamed to make certain that you will have perfect sticky rice, not too wet, not too dry. Soak overnight 2 cups of glutinous rice, then steam over medium heat, it will be done within 30 to 45 minutes. To prepare sticky rice with coconut milk, pour 4 tablespoons coconut milk over steamed sticky rice and continue steaming 5 more minutes.
