Why is Sticky Rice so Important in Laotian Cooking? | Relish with Chef Yia Vang

When Chef Ann Ahmed craves a snack, she'll make sticky rice and a hot sauce, or jeow. Chef Yia Vang joins Ahmed to make Jeow Mak Len (Sticky Rice & Roasted Tomato Jeow) and learns about the importance of sticky rice in Laotian culture and in Ahmed's own home.

Woah, nice! I've never had sticky rice, but it looks fantastic, especially how you were able to just mold a piece into a scoop, that is quite appealing.

I was in charged with making rice for the entire family since 3rd grade. My father would scream and yell at me like a grown man if I drop 1 grain of rice.
I’m a pro at not losing a grain of rice while washing it now.
