Steamed Sticky Rice (Kao Niaow) image

Sticky rice is the main event at the northern Thai table. Small bites of each dish are put on the diner's plate, then a walnut-size amount of rice is formed into a ball with your fingers and used to pick up a chunk of meat or vegetable.

I had some trouble finding pandan leaves, but I was able to substitute them with lemongrass.

The sticky rice was a bit dry, but the coconut milk sauce helped to make it more moist.

I've tried many steamed sticky rice recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The rice was so fluffy and flavorful, and the coconut milk sauce was the perfect complement.
