Today was my first time ever makin sticky rice.. You literally saved me ‘cause I had noooo idea sticky rice was suppose to be soaked the night before lol! Thank you soo much!🙏🏽🙌🏽😭😭😭
Just found your channel because I literally forgot to soak my sticky rice. Mum's from Laos. Thanks for your channel. Glad I'm be able to cook my childhood recipes now that I live on my own :) Plus she just gave me a jar of spicy jeow bong :)
My first household chore as a 3rd grader was cooking rice for dinner. I’ve been making rice for over 30 yrs. I never wash any rice so softly. I manhandle the rice and scrub is really hard between my hands. Rice is pretty tough it can handle the roughness.
I suggest putting the rice in the sieve at the beginning for all of the rinsing and soaking the the boiling water. That way there is no extra transferring back and forth between sieve and bowl.
Thank you so much! Ruined a couple cups of sweet rice after telling my husband “Of course I can make sticky rice”. We love Vietnamese food and are actually looking for spring roll recipe from Laos region. Have you posted one?
ขอบคุณมากค่ะ Since I subscribed you. My cooking skill is totally changed especially E-sarn and Laos cuisine. There is a lil different that we all should know how to cook like a pro. Luv luv this sticky rice hack = my go to (when I cook for my kids) big 👍👍👍 big thx 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
I am extra lazy when it comes to sticky rice and extra thankful for this video. When you want sticky rice you want it and now I don’t have to wait that long anymore!
This recipe my rice was rock hard even after cookign further and adding water So instead I recommend adding water to the same level as rice and then microwave! Works like a charm
Thank you for this cooking lesson!! Like the saying say"GIVE A MAN a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for his life time."
Oh my lordy, thank you so much. We are going on vacation and this video is really useful considering that I may want to make a small batch for hiking trips!!!
Sabaidee !!! Thank you for this video. American hubby who loves sticky rice tried this and he was beyond thrilled. He can't wait to share this video with his family who also fell in love with sticky rice.
Soaking it overnight means preparing food ahead of time and I never prepare anything ahead of time I do last minute cooking, last minute everything... so this is a useful tip for sure.
I agreed with you, nothing beats the traditional way of soaking the rice over night and steam it the traditional way. But I’ve had times where I forget to soak the sticky rice over night so I guessed I will give this a try. I tried Thai Hot Kitchen’s way of soaking the sticky rice in boiling water for 20mins, then steam it. Easy way but still can’t beat the traditional soaking overnight and steaming way.
If it was this one hot-thai-kitchen.com/hot-soak-sticky-rice/ she was inspired from one of my earlier videos. She references me on her website about it. But I’m glad we all agree that the traditional is the best way to soak!
I am making sushi in a few days and this recipe for the rice is gonna be a life saver. All i have to do is make the rice vinegar mix and done. Thank u so much for the video.
Thanks for the hack! I normally use my zojirushi rice cooker but I was in a time crunch. I followed your recipe to a T but unfortunately was left with hard uncooked rice. So I improvised and added a little more water at the end, microwaved for another minute, and left the plate on for another 10. Still hard and uncooked. I wonder if the power of my microwave had anything to do with it. I’ll play around with the technique though. It would be great to have quick sticky rice!
Yeah it slightly changes with the power of microwave and also how much water is drained before putting in the microwave. Play around with the time and water to see what fits for your microwave
Cooking regular rice proportions is 1 rice to 2 water so I don’t see how there could possibly be enough water to cook the rice just with a few tablespoons of water that clung to the rice.
I did everything like in the recipe, but 3 minutes of microwaving and my rice was as solid as a rock and very dry, like uncooked. I'm confused it didn't cook the rice
@@phillipmargrave definitely Glad wrap will do. Otherwise the rice will go hard. Once the rice is cook, don't undo grad wrap, let it sit for few minutes then open n give it a stir. This method is good for cooking small amount of rice. I still prefer to cook rice traditional way anyway.
This recipe is perfect thanks be only problem is the sticky rice doesn't speak up enough water to not as water at all add some water before microwaving
Do you have a video of how to make the sweet and spicy paste that you used to dip the sticky rice in? Can you please comment back the link if you have a video?? If not can you please please please make a video?? Thank you! ❤️
I loved this so much❤ until you started eating (lol just kidding) I kinda got jealous because i wanted that good lookin food 😂😂😂 Thank you so much for this❤❤
I always soaked it overnight than use rice cooker with a bite of water comes out perfect every time. But I am going to your method just to see if taste wise is different
I did all the steps and I'm not saying that all the stuff that you did was wrong but I'm getting confused I did all the steps that you said to do and all of it just dried out I don't get what went wrong can you tell me what happened???
Not being anal here but I got 16min prep…? But regardless this hack is phenomenal! I had purchased a rice cooker that claimed it made sticky rice. It wasn’t good. Too soggy. But this hack will allow me to eat sticky rice all the time! Thank you!!

This is probably the most useful life hack I've seen in 2020, I'm still amazed that it can be done in 20 min! Thank you Chef Saeng.
I know!!! It takes me forever to make sticky rice!!
Your welcome! Glad to create a useful hack for y’all 🙏🤓
Today was my first time ever makin sticky rice.. You literally saved me ‘cause I had noooo idea sticky rice was suppose to be soaked the night before lol! Thank you soo much!🙏🏽🙌🏽😭😭😭

Welcome! And sorry foe the late reply. I hope you’ve been enjoying my recipes 🤓🙏
@@SaengsKitchen no worries. I did and some of them are in my " Food " playlist (recipes I'll try or do)
Exactly what I was looking for. No one has time to steam sticky rice in a bamboo steamer or want to clean up just to get the sticky rice fix. Thanks
Glad it helps!
Thanks, very easy. Best video I've seen so far in rice cooking!

Efficiency ftw!!
This helped so much because I wanted to make onigiri for my friend and I, but I had to do it that day so thanks so much!
Chef Saeng, will you please share with us your moms recipe for that paste? It looked SO YUMMY to eat with the sticky rice. Thank you!

It looked like jeow bong.

Glad my hack will be useful! Make sure to share the hack with others 🙏
Thanks for the tip!! Now...is it fine to keep cooked sticky rice in a Tupperware at room temperature for 24h?
Yes I loved it... I will this right away.
You're so calming!
Thank you great video!
I can tell jeow bong is your favorite. LOL.
Is the rice just as good versus being soaked for a longer period of time?
i learn how to make this, thaks man!
Wow! I definitely have to try this. Have you ever tried making sticky rice in a rice cooker? I tried the other day and it was a fail. 😆
Wow I have never tried to make it in a rice cooker
New favorite channel! Happy subscriber 😁
Great rice hack! How about a follow up coconut rice mango!
I did everything like in the recipe, but 3 minutes of microwaving and my rice was as solid as a rock and very dry, like uncooked. I'm confused it didn't cook the rice
Mine did this too
In total you had to microwave for 6 minutes, stirring after 3 minutes then putting it back for another 3.
It may also depend on microwave power
Did you cover it in the microwave?
@@phillipmargrave definitely
Glad wrap will do. Otherwise the rice will go hard. Once the rice is cook, don't undo grad wrap, let it sit for few minutes then open n give it a stir. This method is good for cooking small amount of rice.

Didn't soak the rice long enough
This recipe is perfect thanks be only problem is the sticky rice doesn't speak up enough water to not as water at all add some water before microwaving
Do you have a video of how to make the sweet and spicy paste that you used to dip the sticky rice in? Can you please comment back the link if you have a video?? If not can you please please please make a video?? Thank you! ❤️
Comida tailandesa parece muito com a da minha linda cidade Belém do Pará 🇧🇷
What type a rice you used! !!! You make see it easy and yummy!! Like you video..
I use sticky rice
That's dedication, he done carried the whole damn microwave over for y'all.
What is the reasoning for adding rice wine vinegar, sugar and salt in other videos I’ve seen? Flavour I assume?
That’s to make sushi rice, which is Japanese. Different kind of rice and this is a Lao cooking channel.
I loved this so much❤ until you started eating (lol just kidding) I kinda got jealous because i wanted that good lookin food 😂😂😂 Thank you so much for this❤❤
I always soaked it overnight than use rice cooker with a bite of water comes out perfect every time. But I am going to your method just to see if taste wise is different

Thank you for the hack

Did you use the right rice ??
Did you use glutinous rice?
Your English is very fluent! 😮😊
Because, he is American.
I don’t have a traditional steamer. This is gold!
