Put the rice in the steam basket and rinse it into the shape of as I call it, "the Football" (For my example it will be be called the Philadelphia Eagles Superbowl Football)
You can name it after your favorite team.
Put the basket into the steaming pot and cover it with some kind of a lid, cook it for 15 minutes.
While your Sticky Rice is steaming, this is a good time to start heating your Coconut milk mixture, medium low heat, stir it to a liquid and let it heat slow.
After 15 minutes take the basket out of the pot and kind of shake it and make the rice flip over.
When the rice is turned over to the other side as you shake it it should look like a football. Put it back on the steam pot with the lid and cook this side 15 minutes
*NOTE
If you just want to make Sickie Rice to eat as a vegetable you can stop here and serve.
