Sticky rice with the help of a microwave

Hello everyone,
           
          As promised, I'm posting a recipe for cooking sticky rice in the microwave that's quick and easy.  Traditional Thai people cook with a steamer which takes longer (and you have to have a steamer).

You will need:

2 cups of long grain sweet rice
1 microwave-safe bowl
1-1/4 cup of water (room temperature)
plastic wrap
1/2 gallon of warm water 

Directions:

1. In the microwave-safe bowl, soak the long grain sweet rice in warm water for 2 hours. 
2. Drain the water.
3. Pour 1 cup of room temp. water over the rice and cover with plastic wrap.
4. Put in microwave for 4 minutes.
5. Turn the rice, using a fork to fluff it up.
6. Sprinkle  1/4 cup of water over rice and cover with plastic wrap.
7. Put back in the microwave for 4 more minutes.
8. Serve warm.

       Sticky rice goes good with Laab Gai & Moo Tod.
