Glutinous rice is the main staple in Laos, Northern Thailand and Cambodia. To cook, it is simply placed in a bamboo steamer and cooked. It is then served in the steamer. If you don't have an oriental steamer (and they're well worth buying) then line a normal metal steamer with muslin or cheesecloth and add your rice to this before cooking.

Ingredients:

50g glutinous rice per person

Method:

Add the rice to a large bowl and cover with water. Set aside to soak for 6 hours then drain.

Add the rice to your steamer then bring the water to a boil in the steamer's reservoir. Add the rice (make certain that the water does not and cannot touch the rice) then cover and steam for about 15 minutes, or until the rice becomes clear and is soft to the touch. Serve hot (note that the longer you soak the rice the less cooking time it will need).
