Sticky Rice with Taro

Thai dessert -- glutinous rice dessert filled with taro paste. It is sweet with a milky and a hint of coconut milk flavor.

You can purchase this at the frozen section of an Asian market. To prepare, simply steam it, covered, for 10-15 minutes in a simmering pot of water. It is already sweetened so there is no need to add any sweeteners. It is best eaten warm while soft.

You will normally find it wrapped in leaves (possibly bamboo). Make sure to steam while wrapped in the leaves to prevent the sticky rice from sticking to your dinnerware and falling apart in the pot of steam.
