Thai Sticky Rice

Picture is not mine but looks similar to how yours should.
I got it from onokinegrindz

Thai Sticky Rice is a special kind of rice only found at some asian food stores. It has a very solid white color to it , not clearish like normal rice.

Wikipedia Says "Glutinous rice (Oryza sativa var. glutinosa or Oryza glutinosa; also called sticky rice, sweet rice, waxy rice, botan rice, biroin chal, mochi rice, and pearl rice) is a type of short-grained Asianrice that is especially sticky when cooked. It is called glutinous (< Latin glūtinōsus) in the sense of being glue-like or sticky and not in the sense of containing gluten; on the other hand, it is called sticky but should not be confused with the other varieties of Asian rice that become sticky to one degree or another when cooked."


You can buy it online
Thai Sticky Rice
Steaming Pot and Basket

So once you have the rice it is easiest to cook it in a pot with a basket made for cooking it.
Soak Rice for 1 day in water.
Assuming you have both the rice and the pot, you fill the pot with a couple inches of water (shouldn't touch basket when boiling). Put basket in the pot and rice in the basket with a lid over the rice. You want to cook the rice until it is translucent and sticky to its self but not too sticky to the touch.

Nam Thok - Waterfall

Picture is not mine but looks similar to how yours should.
I got it from tickythaiandtucker
All Ingredients are approximate


  • London Broil Round Steak or some type of thick steak
  • salt
  • 2t Fish Sauce
  • 1/3 C fresh squeezed lime juice
  • 1/4 C shallots cut to strips
  • 2 T green onion
  • 1 T mint
  • 2 T cilantro
  • 2 T “Cow Coo Uh” - Phonetic spelling .Ground up uncooked sticky rice.
  • Water to maintain sauce
  • sugar & Salt to  Taste
  • ground chili powder from Asian Market
  • BEST SERVED WITH  THAI STICKY RICE (link)


    Pat down the steak with a good crust of salt. The steak should be moderately thick and able to handle a lot of salt. BBQ it to medium rare, then cut into thin strips. (Again, think stir fry).

    In a pot start with lime juice, fish sauce, water and salt. Add meat to finish cooking (from medium rare to medium well/well) add other ingredients making a soupy stir fry. Serve over sticky rice. By the way, be careful with the chili powder as it will add heat!
