Feed me; Steaming Sticky Rice.

Steaming sticky rice near Kantharalak bus station. Sticky rice is a great travel companion, you could buy it at most train and bus station, steamed in bamboo often mixed with black beans.
Easy enough to make at home, but you need to buy the right rice, Take 2 cups of rice and cover with 5 cm cold water, soak for 6 to 24 hours (room temperature). the longer it soaks the better it gets. Line the steamer with cheesecloth, drain the rice and steam for 15 to 20 minutes. You can boil it in a pot or use a rice cooker, but steamed the traditional way ( conical steamer basket and pot) is the best by far.
Another good way is by using a colander or pasta cooker, always line with cheesecloth.
