As always, thank you for watching!
you will save yourself a lot of grief if you put in the title that these are direction for THAI not Japanese RICE, or am I wrong? BTW Love the video
@@jomangeee9180 good point!
P
Could you maybe make a video where you explain the different types of sticky rice and where they come from and how they taste in comparison? That would be so interesting!
Saaaaqqq
My mother is Thai. She passed away a few years ago. I miss her and her cooking. I subscribed to your channel to learn how to make Thai food. Thank you for your videos.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Hope you can recreate some of her dishes using my videos.
my mom passed away 10 years ago and i really really miss her cooking TT^TT... her thai homecooked meals were really great. i wasn't able to learn cooking thai food from her before she passed away. maybe when i move back to thailand (someday) i can learn it from my aunt and my dad
She is with you only the body gos,the soul keeps on living!💜💜🥰🥰😘😘🙏🌹
If you have relatives that cook food that you love. Learn their recipe before they pass! I made that mistake with my grandparents but I can still learn from my parents who cook amazing Lao/Thai dishes. Take advantage of that knowledge before it's too late!
In Mom’s autumn years, I told her we are not looking to inherit her dollars. I told her we are looking to inherit her DESSERTS. I asked her to gradually fill the big deep freeze with her butter tarts, her oatmeal date cookies, cornflake raisin cookies, pies, and her signature Christmas cake.
Mom passed in 2010.
At family gatherings ever since, we toast Mom, and enjoy her thoughtful and delicious legacy.
I just love to watch or even just to listen to her cooking skills. She is so sweet. What an awesome girl .
I love your explanations for how each methods are different.
I grew up in Thailand and have cooked sticky rice a few hundred times but I still learn something new from your videos. Liked the tips and sciences behind it. Thanks for sharing.
Pailin, I love watching any of your show. You're explaining everything in detail, so we can understand it easily. Thank you
Live in UK and been watching this channel for about 2 years now, love the videos. Here is how I do my sticky rice. Add hot water to about half of inch above the rice, put in microwave with no lid, turn the rice every 2 mins to stop it from clumping up and burn, do this about 4-5 times until it cook, works for me. If it's getting too dry after 4th turn, put the lid on.
Thanks for sharing!!
This is perfect timing!! My SIL just had an experience of buying sticky rice & trying to do it regular rice style-I was trying to explain the soak/steam & pretty sure she thought it just became too difficult to deal with then (us USA peeps don’t steam too much) I can’t wait to share this!
My sil did the regular rice cook method . What I noticed is a lack of fragrance and since fragrance and taste is related it did lack the taste . So I’d say no way never make it the normal cooking method it’s basically a waste of good sticky rice
I can listen to your lecture on food all day long!! Lots of Love from SG!♡
Aw, thank you :)
I tried two different ways: metal sieve and microwave. Both worked well! Excellent video!
Thanks for the video! When I was a kid, my grandmother would get up at the crack of dawn to make sticky rice so I thought it was hard to make. Sticky rice, grilled/rotisserie chicken and papaya salad is just the best meal!
Som Tom is my favorite.
We just returned home to Australia after spending two weeks in Thailand and discovering how much we love sticky rice (mango sticky rice especially!!). We bought some glutinous rice to make it at home, but the directions weren’t great and I ended up soaking overnight then boiling the rice in water and it is like glue haha. Thank you so much for this informative video, I’m soaking a second batch now and will attempt a steam later today.
Cook in a steamer.
Your voice now is so therapeutic. So pleasant and calm
Thai rice is our family’s fav rice, my Mom is Filipina. Filipino stores tend to sell Thai rice more than any other rice, the rice is so aromatic and delicious! I love Thai food it’s so delicious. Thank you for sharing your recipes.
Magkano per Kilo?
How thoughtful of you to share these methods, Pai! Now i know which one to use depending on the circumstance. Most appreciated! 😊
I have been waiting for this. Can’t wait to try the bamboo steamer method! Yummy.
I love your channel so much. You give great tips in such detail that even an amateur like me can prepare things with ease. I will be trying the metal sieve method since the Asian stores nearby are always out of stock of the traditional steamers. Being Southeast Asian myself, I have been experimenting more with cooking Asian cuisine and becoming more confident because of amazing TH-camrs like you.
Make me want to to try again
Finally got a chance to make this again (rice cooker method) after a year; and this time they came out perfectly!!! Thank you!!!
I really appreciate the way you explain everything. I’m a person who needs to understand why or why not rather than just follow directions.
Wonderful video. Thank you for showing the different methods.
Thanks Pai, this is just what I needed to learn. I’m making laab and it’s never the same without lovely sticky rice..
Thanks for testing all the ways to cook it, I've learned a lot though I still prefer the bamboo cone method.. Feels so much like home 👌
You are absolutely fantastic. Your explanations and showing different ways of doing that sticky rice touches me
Thankyou for sharing
First time seeing your videos and as what I call a Global Foodie and home chef, I love how thorough your tutorial is and the alternative options. The little tidbits (like the bamboo lid preventing condensation) are awesome. New Follower here! 🎉❤😊
You’re just amazing. Thank you. I was in Chiangmai last month and I love the way they cook their sticky rice. I tasted it different from Bangkok and Chonburi.
I know my Thai mother in law says Pailin talks too much, but man did we learn a lot about the methods of cooking sticky rice. Thanks Pailin, you know your products.
Thank you so much for sharing all your methods! I have been cooking sticky rice for so long, but these tips will help me cook it next time! Love your show!
Absolutely great explained, we love Thai kitchen, we will try these methods, We would like to try your kitchen!
Really love the way you smile..love ur cooking too..
This is so useful. Thank you!
Love this channel sooo much, always my go to! Keep the great work coming! 😊
this is SO helpful! I just got a bag of real Thai sticky rice and I have that same Zojirushi, so I'll try that first, but I'd also love to try steaming it! thanks for going into so much detail; if I'd just tried cooking it on my own I think I really wouldn't have done a great job. but now I can!
I’ve been using the microwave method for sticky rice for years because it is easy and foolproof - once you figure out the precise cooking time and heating level for your particular microwave. Once you have that, the rice is just as good as when I used the bamboo steamer basket. But that’s just my opinion; everyone should find what works for them specifically.
Do you do it at 50% power or something like that to cook it more gently/evenly?
Thank you for this tutorial 😊
I love your experiments all 7 ways of sticky rice cooking methods. The one with the trainer is new to me . I will definitely try it next time
So good! Love getting in depth info into why we cook things a certain way aside from "that's the way our ancestors did it"
Thanks for this awesome informational video! I'm going to try the metal colander method, the rice cooker method (I have the same cooker as you) and buy a new steamer basket to replace an old one so I can make sticky rice the traditional way again. So excited!
Thank you for fully explaining all this
This was so comprehensive and wonderful! I don’t have a lot of experience with cooking sticky rices so all of the information you provided really allowed me to understand how the actual rice behaves differently.
This video is what first introduced me to your channel and now I find myself coming back all the time to discover more dishes to try. My middle child has celiac disease and Thai food has been a major blessing in our house because it’s so easy to find gluten free dishes 😊
Thanks again for another great cooking lesson. Learning so much from you. My method was steaming using a bamboo steamer with parchment paper on the bottom but I think that the muslin cloth is better based on you result. My go to dish is “sweet sticky rice with mango”...1 cup coconut cream with 3 tbsp sugar and a pinch of salt boiled in a pan until sugar dissolves. Add hot sticky rice to the sweet coconut cream mix. Serve with fresh mango. Simple.
Amazing stuff 👏
I appreciate how you explain why to do things certain way
As usual I’m always inspired by your show! Thanks a lot.
Yippee I have the rice cooker✌️, we love sticky rice😋, with your explanation we can enjoy proper sticky rice more often thanks indeed Pai 🙏
Love how comprehensive this is, tonight I’m doing the metal strainer method, but soon I will get a bamboo cone
Honestly the metal strainer method produced the same results as the Thai restaurants that I go to!
@@hibiscusflower5911 where are you from and did you ever get the bamboo cone? Which store did you buy it from if you did?
Thank you Pailin for showing the various ways of cooking sticky rice.
Excellent thank you very much.
I am so excited for this video. Thank You!! ♡
OMG Adam, posting at 6 am? Do you ever sleep? LOL ♡
@Pastadudde I was unaware of both of those factors. Thanks for the vowels! ;)
Hi Brazen! ... and they re right, Pai does all the editing and posting herself - I basically run the camera and provide moral support :) She also schedules the videos, so neither of us are up and around when they actually go out :) Thanks for the support though - you're awesome!! Cheers, Adam
Oh!!! That's why my sticky rice got stuck! I didn't soak my cloth with water 😅😂 Thank you so much for all these tips!! You are the best
Yes, happened to me too, until I knew better!
What a great, useful tutorial! Thanks 🙏 as always
Thank you for the video! When I was a teenager, I babysat for my moms co-worker who was from Laos. Before she left for work she always had dinner made which was some kind of stew and sticky rice! I remember how much I loved it. I recently wanted to try to make it just like her. I remember she had the traditional bamboo basket and pot just like you. Ugh I hope it turns out okay! Thank you times a thousand!
Excellent 👌 I really like it 👍 you solve my problem...🙏
The traditional soak and steam method is how my mom taught me. Sometimes she would stir in a cup of coconut milk at the tail end of steaming and cook for another 10 minutes. It made the sticky rice taste sweeter and fattier. So yummy.
I always pour some coconut milk over any extra rice!
Love this!
Hey, can you explain how exactly to do it? She would pour the coconut milk to the pot with water and steam on top of it or mix the rice with it and than steam?🙏
@@daversqq so while the rice has been cooking in the steamer, you pour coconut milk over the rice. Finish cooking for another 10 minutes and then take rice out. The rice will absorb the coconut milk. If you pour coconut milk in the steaming water below it will not do much I believe. Never tried it that way.
Yes this is how we Malays cook it too
The thai sticky rice video I've been looking for for ages. Thank you so much!!
Great video, as always! All of your videos are very informative and great for beginner cooks. You are also great in front of a camera.
I usually do the regular steamer method, and I swear I lose 1/4 of the rice stuck to the cloth. I never knew I should soak the cloth first! I can't wait to try this!
I KNOW!! I didn't know it at first too!
My friends ! It looks so delicious. Your cooking skills are amazing. Thank you for the good food.😍🖤
Just found this channel....I have been forever wondering about steaming rice and how that works...thank you so much for this wonderful explanation! Subscribed!
Thanks for these tips.
I remember when I used to make rice on the stovetop, then bought my Zojirushi.. been loving it ever since!😊
I found your channel when I was looking for how to cook sticky rice and make into balls and then make a mango sauce to go over it I am now hooked thank you so much excellent excellent instructions
Thanks! Really helpful video!
I love this, and thank you for doing this. I really like to know "why" things are done so it's really helpful to know that yes, the basket steamer is the best but I can still get a pretty decent job done with stuff I already have, and if I only had a microwave that's not an excuse to give this a shot.
Sawasdee Ka! I love watching your cooking video. Thank you for sharing all these methods. I have a question about the measuring cup you used on here. I have the same rice cooker, do you use the rice measuring cup that came with the rice cooker or a regular measuring cup? Thank you in advance for your response.
I have learned so much watching you I absolutely love your channel.
You are a genius and you have the best, best, and the best presenting skills. I am starting to watch at least 2 videos pre-day regardless of whether I am going to cook that dish are not. Most of the time the ingredients that you use are not available easily in India and I try to look for alternative ingredients and try the recipe, I wish I have seen your videos when I lived in Boston because Thai food is my most favorite food on earth, thank you.
TIP: If you don't have a bamboo lid to prevent condensation and you are using a metal or glass lid, line the top of the rice with a piece of muslin, linen, or cheesecloth, and then put your lid on top. This will prevent the condensation from falling on the rice for an optimum steam.
Wet or dry cheesecloth?
Thanks for the tip🥰 ขอบคุณค่ะ จากไทยแลนด์
Thanks for this amazing video!!!!
Thank You for all your knowledge on Thai food. You are a lucky find for me as I dont have to weed through other posts. So far every dish I have done of yours came out honestly "to die for" You have made winter and my nutrition a great event. Love Love Love Your show here.
Thanks for using the rice cooker method, was always curious. I use the traditional bamboo steamer way. 🇱🇦 Eat it daily.
I combine the traditional way and the rice cooker.:My rice cooker has a sreaming mode and I put a bamboo steamer, that I bought in Thailand inside.
30 mins of steaming and it comes out perfectly every time :)
These tips are fantastic!
thank you very insightful !!
Last month, I bought a big bag of sticky rice by mistake. I thought it was a bag of normal jasmine rice. And I didn't know what to do with 50kg of my sticky rice at home because I don't know how to cook it. But now, thanks to you, I will cook it today. Love your videos, Pailin
That’s exactly what I did ! Idk what I’m going to do with all this rice !!
Protip: use the rice rinse water for your plants, does wonders
I love you way to explain chop mak..
I appreciate this video so much because I bought a huge of sticky rice and want to try different recipes with it and didn't know how! Also didn't know there were so many different ways of cooking sticky rice, it's so versatile!
Thanks for the alternative methods to make sticky rice. I had been struggling to process a bamboo steamer but now I guess I can try the #3 method with a sieve. Question though: the lid you used fits so well inside the sieve, mine is the other way around, the lid is much bigger than the sieve, will it be a problem ? Thanks.
P/s: I also asked via Facebook messenger, hopefully you will see my question either here or there.
I fell in love with Pailin during covid !! I never thought that I could make thai food at home until I came to this channel, it’s such an inspiration!!
Thank you :)
ขอบคุณนะคะ ฉันอยู่ที่อเมริกาและคิดถึงอาหารไทยมากเลย ❤️
I'm Asian ( Cambodian) today i learned you can boiled water instead of soaked it overnight lol. My mother taught us to soaked in water all i knew. I also just discovered 1year ago i can cook sticky rice in rice cooker as well woohoo lol. I used the basket steamer sometimes it cooked and other time it's undercooked very frustrated. Now i just throw in rice cooker done in 15 mins or less. Very informative thank you!
I never knew how 'sticky' rice was authentically made!
Hi Palin this is an excellent video/tutorial. Thanks for that. I’ve been cooking sticky rice for almost 30 years after I was introduced to it by my friends from Laos. It was a revelation for me. Rice was the first food I ever learned how to cook when I was a little boy. My mom never made rice for us. But I discovered that I could go to the store and buy A 2 pound box of rice for $.10. What a deal. Anyway, short story shorter, rice became my most favorite food in the world because It was hearty and I could make it myself. When I discovered the taste of real butter, the combination of the two was like heaven for me. Nowadays, now that I know about sticky rice, my most favorite combination is sticky rice with Lao sausage and jeow bong. I don’t know if you’ve covered these topics but can you do a video on homemade Lao sausage and jeow bong dipping sauce? Thanks for all that you do. It’s absolutely top shelf.
Thank you so much for sharing!! Rice is amazing 😍
Wow great hack on the metal sieve
Thank you! Just learned everything I needed to know about sticky rice.
You can use Rice water from Rinses for you plant’s us a Fertilizer🤷♀️🤷♀️😲😲😍💜👍👍
I’ve made rice ( not sticky rice ) in my relatively inexpensive rice cooker for years, but have recently changed to using my Instant Pot, and after quite a bit of experimentation have produced excellent rice. I was wondering if you or any of your followers had any ideas as to how to prepare sticky rice in the Instant Pot. Thanks, and not only do I love your channel but am a Patreon supporter of you as well.
I want to know too! 😃
I found cooking sticky rice in the Instant Pot is a little tricky. The amount of water needed is very much depend on a few different factors e.g. the variety of the rice, how long the rice has been aged and dryed, if the rice has been soaked, etc. From my experience, about half of water is needed when cooking sticky rice vs Jasmine rice. If I don't soaked the sticky rice before hand, I only put water about 2-3 mm above the sticky rice. It seems very little water; however, this works for me everytime. If the rice was soaked for a few hours, then I just put water at the same level of the rice itself. I used rice function with medium pressure (12 min cooking) and voila it's done and perfect. P.S. I put the rice directly in the pot not on a steamer tray. Hopefully this helps :)
Thanks for all the awesome tips!
Love it! Khop khun na krub, Pai! 🙏
my grandma sometimes uses a small pot to make smaller portion. she passed many years ago, mine never turns out right. I think I needed her special pot. my siblings and I used to fight over who gets the bottom part, it is crispy and toasty.
I'm with you 😁😁😁
Sawasdee Krab!
Thank you for sharing these methods. I actually just purchased a huad after seeing the first video, for cooking sticky rice. I also learned that I've been using the wrong rice. In North America (in the U. S. for sure), we've had long-grain, every grain separate drilled into us for a long time; I prefer sticky rice, I think it tastes better plus I hate having to chase individual grains across the plate. I'll be trying *most* of these methods to find the right one for me....what else am I going to do during lockdown? (^_^)/
Thank you! I've always wanted to learn how to cook this.
Love it!!
All great ideas
Steamed rice gets turned out into a big square flat basket to cool and let out excess steam so it does not get gummy. Then it goes into a mesh bag and into the 6 liter cooler bucket. Rice is served cold out of the cooler all day.
You don't want it too sticky or it stick to your fingers and make a mess.
Mom is outside every morning at 5am cooking the Khao Niew on her wood fired clay stoves so it can be ready for the monks to get breakfast.
Serve with Steamed veggies, grilled tilapia, Larb Moo, Som Tam and Tom Gai. A real Northern Kan Toke feast. Pad Cricket is optional.
"It's very different in real life I swear!"

This was sooooooo interesting and informative thank you
Thanks for the advice and share!
สวัสดี My mom used to make jasmine rice and sticky rice
