Steps

• Cooking Sticky Rice with Coconut Milk:

  1. Once the sticky rice is fully steamed, prepare the coconut milk mixture for flavoring the rice. You can see how to cook <a href="https://hungryforthai.com/how-to-cook-sticky-rice/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Simple Sticky Rice</a>, from my recipe! Easy way to cook it!

     

  2. Pour the coconut milk into a pot or pan and heat over low heat.

     

  3. Add sugar and salt, stirring until fully dissolved.

     

  4. Add pandan leaves (fold them into shorter pieces for easier cooking).

     

  5. When the coconut milk starts to simmer gently (avoid boiling vigorously, as this can cause the coconut milk to separate), remove it from the heat.

     

  6. Pour the seasoned coconut milk over the warm steamed sticky rice. Use a spatula to mix everything well. Cover with cling film or a lid and let it sit for 15 minutes.

     

  7. After the first 15 minutes, uncover and flip the sticky rice from top to bottom. Cover again and let it sit for another 15 minutes.

     

  8. During this time, the sticky rice will absorb the coconut milk, resulting in perfectly glossy, flavorful sticky rice with individual, shiny grains.
