Cooking Sticky Rice (glutinous rice) Over an Open Fire.

Cooking rice the way it has been done for generations, Over an open fire.

Thailand glutinous rice is known as khao niao (Thai :ข้าวเหนียว )
Glutinous rice is the main rice eaten in Laos, where it is known as khao niao (Lao: ເຂົ້າໜຽວ): "khao" means rice, and "niao" means sticky. It is cooked by soaking for several hours and then steaming in a bamboo pot or huat (Lao: ຫວດ, Thai: หวด). After that, it should be turned out on a clean surface and kneaded with a wooden paddle to release the steam; this results in rice balls that will stick to themselves but not to fingers. The large rice ball is kept in a small basket made of bamboo or katip (Lao: ກະຕິບ). The rice is sticky but dry, rather than wet and gummy like non-glutinous varieties. The fingers of the right hand are used to eat it by wadding the rice.

I love cooking myself and Thai style food in particular, but although it usually comes out tasting delicious it never tastes totally authentic. Now I know why! - Cool video!
