Sticky rice is a cornerstone of the Hmong kitchen. The recipe comes from chef Yia Vang at Union Hmong Kitchen in Minneapolis. Use it as a utensil—grab a small handful, pick up a little meat with it, and dip in hot sauce for the perfect bite.

Preparation
Step 1
Place both rices in a colander and rinse several times under cold running water until water runs clear. Drain well. Transfer to a medium bowl; pour in cold water to cover by 2". Cover and chill 12 hours.
Step 2
Line a metal steamer basket with cheesecloth (you need enough to wrap around rice). Pour water into a medium pot to come 2" up sides, then set basket inside. Drain rice and place inside basket; bring cheesecloth up and over rice to cover. Set pot over medium heat. Cover and steam rice until tender, 20–25 minutes.

Back to TopIt was good but turned out a bit dry, but that didn't really matter because it paired great with the Butterflied chicken

Typo in the ratios has been fixed, and can now confirm that this recipe makes a beautiful bowl of rice!

Just read recipe in the magazine and was concerned that the ratio of rice was wrong. Seems like that may be the case. Other recipes call for 1:1:1 ratio of black, glutinous and regular jasmine rice or something similar.

Only a low rating because BA has the ratios of rice backward, must be in a typo. Same issue in the magazine edition as well. Should be 1 Cup sweet rice, 3 tbsp Black Glutinous rice.

This looks great! Looking at the photo and magazine article, it seems like there is more sweet rice than black rice. Should the recipe call for 1 cup of sweet rice and 3 tbps. of black rice?

This looks great! Can’t wait to make it. But looking at the photo, it seems there is more sweet rice than black rice. Is the ratio of black rice to sweet rice that the recipe calls for correct? It seems like the recipe should call for 1 cup sweet rice and 3 Tbps. of black rice....
