Prepare the Rice

Rinse the sticky rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 1 hour, then drain.

Cook the Rice

In a steamer basket lined with banana leaves or parchment paper, steam the soaked sticky rice for 30-40 minutes, or until tender and cooked through.

Prepare the Coconut Mixture

In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, water, and chopped palm sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is fully dissolved, stirring occasionally. Add a pinch of salt.

Combine Ingredients

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Pour the coconut mixture over the rice and mix well to combine.

Add Nuts and Seeds

Stir in the crushed peanuts and toasted sesame seeds.

Wrap and Set

Place the mixture on a flat surface and shape it into a rectangular or square shape. Wrap it in banana leaves or parchment paper. Allow it to cool and set for a few hours.

Serve

Unwrap and cut into pieces. Serve at room temperature or slightly warmed.
