Steps:
- In a large bowl (large enough to hold at least twice the volume of rice, about 6 cups) cover rice with cold water by 2 to 3 inches. Soak rice 8 to 24 hours. Alternatively, soak rice in warm water (about 110°F.) 2 hours. The longer soak allows more flavor to develop.
- Drain rice and transfer to a Southeast Asian rice-steamer basket or sieve. Set steamer basket or sieve over several inches of boiling water in a large pot or deep kettle. It is important that the rice not touch boiling water. Cover rice with a lid and steam, checking water level occasionally to make sure pot or kettle doesn't boil dry and adding more boiling water if necessary, 25 minutes, or until rice is shiny and tender.
- Transfer rice to a basket or bowl, breaking it up into smaller lumps, and immediately cover with a lid or clean kitchen towel. (Rice dries out if exposed to air as it cools, so keep covered until serving.)
Tips:
- Use the right kind of sticky rice. Glutinous rice is the best choice for khao neeo, as it has a high starch content that makes it sticky when cooked.
- Soak the rice before cooking. Soaking the rice for at least 30 minutes helps to soften it and make it more pliable, which will result in a more tender and sticky texture.
- Cook the rice in a steamer. Steaming is the best way to cook khao neeo, as it allows the rice to cook evenly without becoming mushy.
- Use a bamboo steamer. A bamboo steamer is the traditional way to cook khao neeo, and it helps to give the rice a delicate flavor and aroma.
- Don't overcook the rice. Overcooked khao neeo will become mushy and lose its sticky texture.
- Serve the rice warm. Khao neeo is best served warm, as it will become less sticky as it cools.
Conclusion:
Khao neeo is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you serve it with savory or sweet dishes, khao neeo is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy rice, give khao neeo a try!
