Coconut Sticky Rice

I love this rice dish. When I lived in NYC, my favorite Thai restaurant served this rice and I basically begged until they told me how to make it. So simple. So good. Stands alone and is perfect in bowls or on the side.

Ingredients:

• 2 c chicken stock

• 1 can coconut milk

• Just enough water for liquid content to reach 4 cups.

• 1 T sugar

• 2 c long grain white rice or jasmine rice

Directions:

• Bring 4 cups of liquid mixture to a boil. Add 1 T sugar. (watch this will boil over in a flash!)

• Stir in rice.

• Lower heat to a gentle simmer (medium low) and cover with tight fitting lid.

• Cook for 20 minutes. No peeking.

• Turn off heat. Allow it to steam with lid on for 10 minutes before serving.
