Sticky Rice

On Tuesday nights, Rick leads a new Christian class. Usually I fix a simple dessert following class for the students to eat while visiting. Last Tuesday night was a treat because one of the girls brought a popular Khmer sweet called Sticky Rice. Notice the color… black! Rick is really sinking his teeth into this “sticky” snack. You may wonder what this could possibly taste like!? Well, rice with a little sugar is about all I could come up with. The color is black because it is made with black rice. The other, if you can see in the picture, is made with white rice. There is a difference in taste with the two colors, but can’t really explain. Sorry. Kimsom, who brought the treat, is cutting it for everyone.
