I was so used to buying cheap perfect sticky rice in Thailand that I never learned how to make it. Now I'm back in the US and clueless with cravings lol. Thanks for the video!

[@SaengsKitchen]

Aww well I’m glad you can now use my video to make your own sticky rice! Let me know how it goes!!!

[@paullentini2296]

I love sticky rice and Jeow Bong. Years age I worked with 3 brothers from Laos. They introduced me to sticky rice and taught me how to make it. I have the traditional pot and basket to make it in.

[@SaengsKitchen]

I love that! its def the best way to make sticky rice as long as you plan ahead and have access to the equipment. What other Lao foods do you like eating with sticky rice?

[@Leilataraxia]

I hate planning meals ahead of time so this is a game changer for me, I never make sticky rice (even though it's my FAVE) because I never think of soaking it overnight😭 thank you omg

[@SaengsKitchen]

this will be a great method for you then! I hope you try it soon

I am so lucky!!! We have Hmong AND Lao food in, believe it or not, Billings Montana. Most of the Hmong families moved away after about 15 years having a refugee community here, which was sad, but they rejoined their extended families and/or joined into much bigger communities. And then we had a few Lao families move here. One of the Hmong kids married a Northern Lao kid and it brought two restaurant families together. For decades they served Chinese-American food, but then sold the restaurants and opened food trucks & eventually new restaurants with real Hmong and Lao food. It does not get very challenging in terms of spice and the dishes beloved locally are, I’m sure, “plain” versions of the food, but it’s so cool to have something most cities don’t have! We had Afghan food for a bit too, but the lady was able to rejoin her family elsewhere in the US. Funny that all the anti-refugee people ended up in line for stuffed naan…

[@bobpiff5161]

People aren’t necessarily anti-refugee, just anti illegal alien that have been given huge credit cards, phones and hotels on the taxpayer dime. The importers, like yourself, in favor of mobs of these people refuse to offer their beds to them. Why? A lil Two-faced don’t you think?

Sticky rice to Lao Cuisine is what the baguette is to French cuisine. Both these cuisines can be seen across multiple countries where they have left or brought their influence. Sticky rice is synonymous with Lao cuisine. Keep going sharing our cuisine brother.

[@aon2152]

Omg it works!!! Had an amazing dinner thanks to you. God bless you!!

[@sweet-teia167]

I made this following your guide and it came out perfect! I have a 1000w microwave. Using your math (1000/10= 100 x 7 = 700) I heat it at a PL 7. Thank you so much for this hack and detail guidance. ❤

[@crabwalk7773]

Bravo for taking advantage of the microwave's features. Yes, the power levels serve a purpose. And any food cooked in a microwave needs the standing time to finish cooking, Well done!

[@ToadalSimplicity]

Thanks for the great tutorial! Can’t wait to try this out! Kind of reminds me of fufu from Benin and the Caribbean. Really cool how different cultures utilized the starchy foods local to them to create similar but unique dishes.

[@duuuumb]

first time in my life ive actually been grateful to have a 700w microwave loll, your videos make me excited to cook again! can't wait to try out as many lao recipes as I can get my hands on :)

[@SaengsKitchen]

this video is meant for you lol you'll have to keep me posted when you try it! can't wait for you to explore my Lao recipes

[@Eddison33]

That's very nice! I've never thought of making rice in a microwave like that - I usually soak it in water for the night, and it takes too much time. Now, I'm curious about finding some jeow bong in my country) There should be some Asian places that sell it. It would be such a wonderful meal to pre-cook and take to the office!

[@_frogerino]

i’m here because i’m disabled and can’t use a traditional stove. i’m trying to up my microwave cooking skills so i can start having nicer and more diverse meals

[@sunriseeyes0]

Thank you for this! I love sticky rice but have none of the cooking implements so this is very useful 🙏🏽💗🍚

[@SaengsKitchen]

i'm glad you will be able to use the microwave method! please let me know how it goes

[@joanndavis4843]

I didn't know sticky rice was a thing the same way chips are used for dipping. I like the one-handed operation to shape small oval balls. I'd like to know other dipping choices (Google knows everything). At first, I was wondering if all those steps with the rinsing, draining, stirring, microwave configuration, (and I didn't know what to think when you brought out your own little basket with a lid), was worth all the trouble when I could just go to Costco and buy the microwavable sticky rice bowls. But then, when I saw the finished product, it all made sense! Wonder if I should put off this way to make sticky rice until I get a cute little something to put it into like yours. If I'm going to do something, I might as well do it right😉.

[@CyberMachine]

Can you do a video on how to clean the rice container too?

[@SaengsKitchen]

Yes! Planning on doing that soon :)

[@tnonesoung]

Soak it in water

[@copic8241]

Thanks. Looks delish!!

[@SaengsKitchen]

thanks so much! have you made sticky rice before?

[@bobpiff5161]

What about using the “Rice” setting that’s already preprogrammed on your Mike?

[@TheWellnessCuess]

I love sticky rice

[@babysmoke2213]

I'm actually here cause I want to learn to make sticky rice cause I am obsessed with it lol.

[@SaengsKitchen]

I’m obsessed with it as well! I hope you learn new ways of making it from this video. Also I have a full Lao Sticky Rice Guide on my website newsletter available to download for free and it shows 5 different ways of cooking sticky rice. Hope it helps! www.saengskitchen.com

[@laurietarawa1371]

Thank you.

[@SaengsKitchen]

[@LoganVega]

I did it! It worked!!!

[@SaengsKitchen]

Yay glad it helped!

[@LoganVega]

It gets better, i used anyday tupperware to make it and have made 3 servings since yesterday. It worked so well!​@@SaengsKitchen

[@Yohualli]

I bought some sweet rice to make yaksik, and was looking for recipes for the rest of my rice bag when I found your video. I noticed that the grains of rice you use are kind of long, but the grains of my rice are more round. Does that make a difference when preparing the rice according to your recipe? (Sorry, I’m a total noob when it comes to Asian rice 😅)

[@mdytch]

I have been cooking Lao food for a long time (taught by Lao friends), so I know what kao neow should be like. This recipe produced well-cooked rice that was too wet, so, though it stuck to itself as it was supposed to, it also stuck to my fingers. Any suggestions for how to solve this problem? I used a 700 watt microwave for 6 minutes total.

[@tunesndstuff]

Which brand you use?

[@Number1braumsstan]

I have that exact microwave lol

[@SaengsKitchen]

This video was meant for you! 😂 are you gonna try it??

[@DeezyweezyYOOO]

Hey Saeng, how do I store left over sticky rice and reheat them later? When i refrigerate sticky rice its hard to separate them, also reheating them in the microwave made it hard and crunchy. any tips? cheers!

[@SaengsKitchen]

Hi there! Great questions. Usually I store left over sticky rice in a breathable container. It does not need to be refrigerated since well cooked sticky rice shouldn’t be wet so I just leave it out but usually it’s only for one night since all the sticky rice is eaten the next day (don’t make too much if you can’t finish it the next day). Don’t keep sticky rice outside for more than one night or else it may mold. And I reheat day old sticky rice with the steaming method as it needs to be rehydrated. I haven’t tried the reheating day old sticky rice method with a microwave yet

[@Pogosoke]

How to make jail bong?

[@SaengsKitchen]

[@tntaudio2k276]

[@duuuumb]

Cooking stickyrice in normal pressure cooker

[@roysherwoodlee]

🥭🍚

[@SaengsKitchen]

Have you made it this way before?

[@2224SKATE]

Why is sticky rice way more expensive compared to others but a lot?

[@YaGirlGumption]

you missed out on the fourth option for people watching. "Yaknow i never tried sticky rice. fuck it lets see how"

[@So_pho_king_awesome]

That’s not a chopstick. This is a chopstick

[@2224SKATE]

Why is sticky rice so much more expensive it’s unfair

[@LettieLoop]

Because it's more labour intensive than other rice. People should be paid fairly and in accordance with their hours of labour.

[@Ksackda88]

What's going on cousin? It's been a long time since we visited you and your family up in Wisconsin. You probably don't remember but this is your cousin B from Florida. We havnt seen yall since 3rd grade now we are grown men. My mother still keeps in contact with your mom all the time and i know they send eachother stuff through mail. Reach out to me when you get the chance. It will be nice to catch up sometime in the future and visit you guys again someday.

[@kavaler2567]

Saeng is a perfect example of how internet sacrfices truly interasting food and culinary culture for virality.
