Instructions
 

For the sweet sticky rice

  • Soak the rice with room temp water for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
  • Preheat the steamer by bringing it to a full boil over high heat. Drain the rice, place in a steamer lined with moist muslin, and cover.
  • Steam the rice for 20-25 minutes until fully cooked.
  • While the rice is cooking, combine coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a pot to make coconut syrup.
  • Reheat the syrup a few minutes before the rice is done, then pour it over the rice once cooked. Let sit for 20 minutes.
  • Fold the rice to redistribute the syrup and let sit for an additional 20 minutes.

For the salted coconut sauce

  • Stir the rice flour into the water until there are no lumps.
  • Combine the slurry, coconut milk, and salt in a pot, cook until it boils, then let cool.

For the crispy mung beans
