STICKY RICE RECIPE | COOKING AT HOME | Giselle Franich

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: regular milk

Almond milk reduces calories while adding a nutty flavor.

glutinous rice

🥗Healthier: brown rice

💰Cheaper: white rice

Brown rice is healthier but may alter texture.

Soak glutinous rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Drain the soaked rice and blend with coconut milk until smooth.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in sugar, salt, and baking powder until well combined.

If desired, add food coloring to the mixture and mix well.

Prepare a steamer and line it with banana leaves or parchment paper.

Pour the rice mixture into the prepared steamer, filling it about halfway.

Steam the mixture over medium heat for 30-40 minutes, until set and a toothpick comes out clean.

Let it cool slightly before removing from the steamer.

Cut into squares or desired shapes for serving.

Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally topped with mango or sesame seeds.
