Recipe ingredients and directions:

2 cups sticky rice

4 cups coconut milk

1 cup ground meat / chicken

1 or 2 buds garlic, minced

butter margarine

ground white pepper

salt

Put the sticky rice in a bowl, soak in the water then leave them

about an hour. Drain the water afterwards. Boil the coconut milk,

mix 1/2 tea spoonful salt, then mix them with the rice. Cook until

the rice half-cooked. Move the half-cooked rice into a steam bowl

then cook it until well cooked (about 30 minutes). Meanwhile you

can prepare the meat/chicken.

Melt butter / margarine in the frying pan. Fry garlic and meat/chicken;

then put some white pepper and salt as you like. Fry them all

until the meat/chicken well done.

After you have all set, you can put the meat/chicken in between

the rice; like sandwich, cut them 5×3 cm; or else, I believe you

can do it as you still recall what it looks like when your neighbor

gave you. If you can find banana leaves, cover each of them then

put them on charcoal fire.

If you have rice cooker, you can cook the rice following the

direction, but put coconut milk instead of water. If you cannot

find coconut milk in your place, water can be used instead but

please add one teaspoonful of margarine to imitate the taste.

Traditionally, this is covered by banana leaves then put it on fire

(like barbeque) but you can use foil instead. The following is a

modified recipe so you can try easily :

I have not made this yet because I just recieved it, but I can see

from the recipe, that this is it. I do recommend the coconut milk

rather than water because it has a sweet taste which I loved so

much. When I used to eat it, it was served with a thick, sweet

soy sauce drizzled over. Also, the meat was ground quite fine

instead of in slices. The rice ball comes out looking like an

egg-shape.
