👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1--- Sticky Rice ---
2. 2Start by rinsing the rice with cold water about 3-4 times until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in cold water for at least an hour or overnight.
3. 3Drain the rice using a sieve or a cheesecloth. Prepare the sieve over a large pot of simmering water, and steam rice for about 15 minutes or until fully cooked. Set aside.
4. 4In a medium pot, add coconut milk, sugar, and salt, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat, and keep the mixture warm by placing a lid on top.
5. 5Add the cooked sticky rice into a medium bowl, and slowly stir in the coconut mixture. Cover and allow to cool for at least 30 minutes, or until the mixture is absorbed.
6. 6--- Coconut cream (for topping) ---
7. 7While the rice is being prepared, prepare the coconut cream. In a separate saucepan, slowly boil the remaining 3/4 cup of coconut milk (or however much is left in the can) and salt. Add corn starch, stirring until thickened, and remove from heat. Set aside to cool.
