I enjoyed the rice with coconut milk. I used another recipe and actually steamed the rice in corn husks. Thanks! Made for ZWT 2013 for team Hot Stuff.

Very good, I did nuke it for 7 minutes. Had this with Recipe#347795 and Recipe#382437 for an Indian menu. Made for ZWT 6. Thanks you Debbie for sharing.

This was a little involved for sticky rice but placed along side left over recipe #405625, it was delicious. The wrapping in cheesecloth was a little difficult for me because of the heat and I was very hesitant to wrap it after mixing in the coconut milk and fish sauce, but wanted to follow the recipe directions. I didn't care for the coconut milk in the rice by itself, but mixed with other Asian flavors it was great. Thanks for sharing Debbie. Made for ZWT 6 :)
