Thai Sticky Rice
454g packet 0303
Thais
living in northern Thailand, and especially the
Isaan region, prefer sticky rice served with their
food, rather than the more traditional jasmine
rice. Sticky rice is whiter, shorter (oval shaped)
and opaque when uncooked. Once cooked sticky rice
becomes almost translucent and is best prepared
by soaking prior to cooking.
Traditionally
sticky rice is served in individual lidded baskets
made from either reed or bamboo (kra-tip khao)
and diners pluck their own serving from their
own basket. Forget table manners, sticky rice
is best moulded and eaten with your fingers!
In
general terms sticky rice is served as an accompaniment
to a range of other dishes as part of the main
meal, but is sometimes cooked with coconut
milk
and a wide variety of fruit, including banana,
mango and pineapple as a delicious dessert.
