About Sanpathong
Sanpathong is a serene agricultural district in Northern Thailand which is best known for its highest quality Glutinous Rice. Also known as “sweet rice”, this variety of rice is sweet, soft, moist and sticky when cooked. Thus, it is commonly used to compliment dishes and as dessert.

- Variety: San Pah Tawng

- Texture: Very shiny and sticky

- Harvested in Thailand

Cooking Method:
1. Rinse rice with water and drain.
2. Soak rice in 1 cup water for 20 minutes, or up to 1 hour.
3. Add 3/4 cup (more) water plus 1/4 can coconut milk, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1 Tbsp. sugar. Gradually bring to a gentle boil, then partially cover with a lid (leaving some room for steam to escape). Turn the heat down to medium-low.
4. Allow to cook for 10-20 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed by the rice. Remove the pot from the heat, place the lid on tight, and leave to for 5-10 minutes before removing the pot cover.
