Then Laos claimed it as their own. Then it got stolen from Laos. Today, you can find Sticky Rice in China, Japan, even right here in America. Because Sticky Rice can be found all over the world, this dish has a diverse taste. ]]> 2018-02-23 13:39:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jozie_thomas/funk_food_funk_history/wish/234672758 jozie_thomas https://padlet.com/jozie_thomas/funk_food_funk_history/wish/235017349 This dish is sticky because  of the rice used. The type of rice is called Sweet Rice. This particular type of rice has a large amount of sugar. Sugar and water like each other, so when you pour the rice in the water and leave the rice there, the rice soaks up the water, but the rice isn't sticky yet. So think of it like unsweet tea, water and the tea together isn't sticky. After the rice is almost see-through then you can drain the extra water. Once the water is drained, then put the water in the steamer. This steam, mixed with the Sweet Rice makes it sticky. ]]> 2018-02-24 19:29:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jozie_thomas/funk_food_funk_history/wish/235017349
