Khao Neow
Thai Sticky Rice
Khao Neow, or Thai sticky rice, is a fundamental staple of Isaan cuisine. This recipe details the traditional method of steaming glutinous rice in a bamboo basket, resulting in a delightfully chewy and fragrant side dish perfect for scooping up curries and sauces.
🧂 सामग्री
- 2 cups Glutinous rice (sweet rice)(Ensure it is labeled 'glutinous' or 'sweet' rice, not regular long-grain rice.)
- sufficient Water(For soaking and steaming.)
👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
Rinse the glutinous rice thoroughly under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch. Place the rinsed rice in a bowl and cover with ample water, ensuring the rice is fully submerged. Let it soak for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
⏱️ 8+ hours - 2
Drain the soaked rice completely using a fine-mesh sieve. Shake well to remove as much excess water as possible. The rice should appear plump and slightly translucent.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 3
Prepare your steamer. If using a traditional bamboo steamer, line it with a damp cloth or cheesecloth to prevent the rice from falling through the slats and to help retain moisture. Ensure the steamer fits snugly over a pot of boiling water. The water level should be high enough to steam for at least 30 minutes without boiling dry.

Transfer the drained rice into the prepared steamer basket. Spread it out evenly. Cover the steamer tightly with its lid.
- 5
Steam the rice over high heat for 20-25 minutes. After about 10-12 minutes, carefully open the steamer and gently flip the rice using a spatula or chopsticks to ensure even cooking. Continue steaming until the rice is tender, translucent, and has a slightly chewy texture. You should be able to press a grain between your fingers and it should yield easily.
⏱️ 20-25 minutes - 6
Once cooked, carefully remove the steamer from the heat. Serve the hot sticky rice directly from the basket, or transfer it to a serving bowl. It is traditionally eaten by hand.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव
