Curry dishes are best serve with Khao Chow (jasmine rice) rather than sticky rice. I like this dish served with sin khao bune (rice noodle) to make a hot noodle salad: into a bowl, add sin khao bune and spoon the chicken curry over top; add extra chopped Thai basil, cilantro, green onions, and bean sprouts. Stir Fry Recipe : Thai Chicken Curry with Long Beans and Bamboo 1 tablespoon chopped garlic 1 tablespoon oil ¼ cup chopped bamboo shoots ¼ cup chopped long beans ¼ cup chopped tomatoes 1 cup chopped chicken ½ cup fresh coconut milk 1 tablespoon red Thai Lao Curry Paste 1 to 2 sprigs of chopped Thai basil 2 tablespoons fish sauce Boil chopped bamboo shoots for 30 minutes to remove yellow colouring.

A great way to use up left over sticky rice is to make the Sticky Rice & Mango dessert. Dessert Recipe: Sticky Rice & Mango 1 cup fresh coconut milk 1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar 3 cups cooked sticky rice 1 ripe mango In a pot, over medium heat, add coconut and sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves. Add sticky rice and stir until fresh coconut milk absorbs into sticky rice. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Remove skin of mango, cut into bit size pieces and discard the mango pit. Dish sticky rice on to a serving bowl or plate. Add mango slices over rice and serve. I like to add left over black bean coconut drink to cook with the sticky rice. It gives the rice a nice purple colour and the beans add texture and protein to the dessert.
