THAI GRILLED SWEET STICKY RICE WITH BANANA FILLING
These delicious grilled banana leaf packets conceal Thai sticky rice perfumed with the smokiness of the charred wrapper and a piece of banana at the center.

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.

Tips:
- Choose the right fish: Firm-fleshed fish like salmon, cod, or haddock are best for this recipe since they hold up well in the cooking process.
- Season the fish: Before wrapping the fish in the parchment packet, season it with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to mix and match your favorite vegetables. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, zucchini, and tomatoes.
- Don't overcrowd the packets: Make sure there is enough room for the fish and vegetables to cook evenly. If the packets are too crowded, the food will not cook properly.
- Seal the packets tightly: To prevent the packets from opening during cooking, fold the edges over several times and crimp them together firmly.
- Cook the packets at the right temperature: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of fish and vegetables you are using. Generally speaking, cook the packets at 400°F for 15-20 minutes.
Conclusion:
Fish and rice packets are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. With a little planning, you can have a healthy and flavorful meal on the table in no time.
