FOOLPROOF THAI STICKY RICE
Thai sticky rice is slightly sweet and rather sticy, and fun to eat; children love it. The traditional way to eat sticky rice is to gently gather a clump of it into a ball and dip into a sauce. Do NOT use American long grain or Chinese short/medium grain. Here's an explanation of Thai sticy rice: http://importfood.com/stickyrice.html . Time indicated does not include soaking time for the rice. Although I've posted recipe to use with my Bamboo Steamer, a pasta pot (with a deep basket) lined with cheese cloth will work just as well

Tips:
- Use a pasta pot or large pot with a tight-fitting lid to ensure the rice cooks evenly and doesn't overcook.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any starch and impurities.
- Use the right ratio of water to rice. For sticky rice, the general rule is 1 1/2 cups of water to 1 cup of rice.
- Bring the water to a boil before adding the rice. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer the rice for 18-20 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed.
- Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
- Serve the sticky rice with your favorite Asian dishes, such as curries, stir-fries, or grilled meats.
