I do the cheat way of cooking sticky rice!:lol:

Diane - sticky rice also tends to be more glutinous and smaller grained.

What's the cheat way of making sticky rice? I've never made it but love it. And I'm all about cooking shortcuts/simplifying things.

@tlamdang08, I am in awe with all of your cooking. I don't have the patience for complicated cooking, but love yummy food!

@loh Thanks for liking my food presentation. My youngest this morning told me this “ Ma, you know that we love your food just as is meaning we can eat them right out from the pot. No need to put your energy into decorations the food. Take your time to rest.”
my Husband told him“ she does it out of love. Food of love.” But I know I do that because I have too much time.:lol::lol::lol:

My cheat way to make perfect sticky rice from the rice maker is 4 cups of sticky rice, 2 cups of rice, water level at number 4.
A pin of salt, 2 tea spoons of oil. Mix them well then cook them as regular rice. :yahoo:

My cheat way is a variation of the way prepared by @tlamdang08. I simply rinse the rice, add the right amount of water and cook the old country way via pot on stovetop. If I’m in a rush, the rice cooker comes out. Rather than flavoring the rice throughout the cooking process, I dice sweet chinese sausage and shiitake mushrooms and add the mix to the rice halfway through the cooking process. The fat and juice of the sausage flavor the rice nicely. When I’m ready to plate, I top off with scallions for freshness.

Your latte artwork looks lovely- I see the profile of a fierce feline staring longingly at that plate of macarons.

One great thing about this thread is that it encourages creativity (and creativity isn’t perfect). Heck, you can grab some H receipts, fold them into little airplanes, stack up a few H boxes and voila: you are now founder and ceo of Hermes Air with a fleet of planes and your own airport! Not that I’ve even done that...:no:

Haha thank you. Your imagination and creativity has been so inspiring.

I realized I'm thinking of sweet rice when I'm referring to sticky rice. Never made sweet rice, but love that. I always make sticky rice in the pot, but haven't added salt and oil before. Will have to try that, and the recipe by @sf_newyorker - never made sticky rice on the stove before.

Appreciate your recipe tips! I'm sure my family will too. :biggrin:

Thank you. I’m still practicing my milk pouring skills and nowhere near how I want my latte art to look like. This was one of the better mistakes/accidents I guess.

wishing you continued success! amazing results possible.
DD has friends with a coffee bar who made latte art looks just like DD and DSiL. so much so I can‘t even post it here.
