Thank you so much! Ruined a couple cups of sweet rice after telling my husband “Of course I can make sticky rice”. We love Vietnamese food and are actually looking for spring roll recipe from Laos region. Have you posted one?

Exactly what I was looking for. No one has time to steam sticky rice in a bamboo steamer or want to clean up just to get the sticky rice fix. Thanks

Interesting...nice jib!!!

[@kerinohwithatwist]

My first household chore as a 3rd grader was cooking rice for dinner. I’ve been making rice for over 30 yrs. I never wash any rice so softly. I manhandle the rice and scrub is really hard between my hands. Rice is pretty tough it can handle the roughness.

[@Jeena7771]

This recipe my rice was rock hard even after cookign further and adding water So instead I recommend adding water to the same level as rice and then microwave! Works like a charm

[@Annchan172]

Omg thank you for this tip 🙏🏻

[@Dookiepants1000]

Nice! Esp if you don’t have the traditional implements.... you are the Alton Brown of Lao cuisine!

[@pontip]

Man.. if only I knew this as a kid when I forgot to soak the rice for my mom before she got home. 😂

[@libra_unleashed]

I am extra lazy when it comes to sticky rice and extra thankful for this video. When you want sticky rice you want it and now I don’t have to wait that long anymore!

[@hippopotomonstrosesquipped8362]

Soaking it overnight means preparing food ahead of time and I never prepare anything ahead of time I do last minute cooking, last minute everything... so this is a useful tip for sure.

[@maygoia]

Thanks for the tip!! Now...is it fine to keep cooked sticky rice in a Tupperware at room temperature for 24h?

[@lakevalowe4268]

I loved this so much❤ until you started eating (lol just kidding) I kinda got jealous because i wanted that good lookin food 😂😂😂 Thank you so much for this❤❤

[@PeemTsheejDuaNtais98]

I agreed with you, nothing beats the traditional way of soaking the rice over night and steam it the traditional way. But I’ve had times where I forget to soak the sticky rice over night so I guessed I will give this a try. I tried Thai Hot Kitchen’s way of soaking the sticky rice in boiling water for 20mins, then steam it. Easy way but still can’t beat the traditional soaking overnight and steaming way.

[@SaengsKitchen]

If it was this one hot-thai-kitchen.com/hot-soak-sticky-rice/ she was inspired from one of my earlier videos. She references me on her website about it. But I’m glad we all agree that the traditional is the best way to soak!

[@annabrown4974]

Love the video! What was used for the sauce? What paste was used with the dried Chili?

[@sougarcia8890]

It looked like jeow bong.

Hi Saeng , do we cook the sticky rice for 3 mins using high, medium or low temperature?

Thank you!

Can I get that special cup on amazon ?

[@francisyang9997]

Instead of the microwave, would a steamer work better after the 10 minute boiling water soak ?

[@bigtallslim]

Thanks for sharing this ill have to try it, does it taste different? I can't get sticky rice that dry usually looks like microwave would help. I want to use sticky rice to make khao jee (Thai name)

[@SaengsKitchen]

It tastes pretty close. Give it a try

[@MoniHerbst]

Thanks for the hack! I normally use my zojirushi rice cooker but I was in a time crunch. I followed your recipe to a T but unfortunately was left with hard uncooked rice. So I improvised and added a little more water at the end, microwaved for another minute, and left the plate on for another 10. Still hard and uncooked. I wonder if the power of my microwave had anything to do with it. I’ll play around with the technique though. It would be great to have quick sticky rice!

[@SaengsKitchen]

Yeah it slightly changes with the power of microwave and also how much water is drained before putting in the microwave. Play around with the time and water to see what fits for your microwave

[@swtbbyjms3806]

Cooking regular rice proportions is 1 rice to 2 water so I don’t see how there could possibly be enough water to cook the rice just with a few tablespoons of water that clung to the rice.

[@habubob7270]

I suggest putting the rice in the sieve at the beginning for all of the rinsing and soaking the the boiling water. That way there is no extra transferring back and forth between sieve and bowl.

[@Mmdg634]

Efficiency ftw!!

[@sangmoblone9944]

What should the temperature of the oven be?

I like to use the traditional Ming microwave to

what is the recipe for dip for the rice? please

[@milawei1072]

This recipe is perfect thanks be only problem is the sticky rice doesn't speak up enough water to not as water at all add some water before microwaving
