Ingredients
- ½ cup uncooked sticky rice grains
Makes ½ cup
Instructions
Bring an old pan or wok to a medium heat. Dry roast the sticky rice for 8-10 minutes until browned or if you want it smokier, allow it to reach a light grey colour.
Allow to cool before transferring to a mortar and pound to a fine powder. This can also be done in a spice or coffee grinder. It is best used fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container in a cool dark place for several weeks.
To make your sticky rice powder more aromatic, you can also dry roast it with lemongrass, chilli and kaffir lime leaves.
