Kai Yang with Khao Niao and Som Tam
(Barbecued Chicken with Sticky Rice and Green Papaya Salad)		  
 
Sticky Rice
Place 4 (2 lb/ 1 kg) cups of sticky (glutinous) rice in  a saucepan and add water to cover. Rub the rice between your hands several times and drain off the milky water; add clean water and repeat until the water is clear. Soak overnight in water to cover or, to save time, it can be soaked in hot water for 3 hours  before  steaming. Drain the rice and place in a cloth lined basket or in a steaming basket. Place the basket over a pot of  boiling  water, cover, and steam for approximately 30  minutes
