How to choose good sticky rice
- Good sticky rice grains should be large and uniform in size. The outer layer should be shiny, the grains should not be broken, should not have husks, and should have a yellow color. There should be a natural, characteristic aroma.
- The best type of sticky rice for making sticky rice is called ‘ngong’ sticky rice – it has long, large grains that look like small goose eggs, milky white in color, with a natural, light fragrance. When cooked, it expands just right, is very sticky, soft, and fragrant. Notably, the sticky rice remains deliciously sticky even after cooling.
How to choose good and safe black beans
- Choose black beans with a green heart, thin skin, beautiful shiny black color, and round uniform grains. Additionally, good black beans will have a characteristic aroma.
- You can test by squeezing the grain hard; if it remains unchanged, it is good quality. However, if it makes a cracking sound, then it is definitely hollow inside, and this type should not be chosen.
- Avoid buying grains that are shriveled, have a moldy smell, or have a pale color as these are signs that the beans have been stored for too long and are likely to mold.

Cooking Sticky Rice
Wash the beans thoroughly, put them in the rice cooker with half a liter of water, and cook until done.
Wash the sticky rice, then add half a teaspoon of salt and mix gently. After that, place it into the rice cooker with the beans at the bottom, pour the coconut milk over, spread it evenly, and use a spoon to press down so that the liquid soaks into the beans underneath.
