This recipe is an alteration of a traditional Myanmar snack (specifically from the Shan Region) featuring a fried sticky rice appetizer paired with Rooted Fare’s Black Sesame as a dip!

Ingredients
- 1.5 cup glutinous black rice (uncooked)
- 1/2 cup glutinous white rice (uncooked)
- 1/2 cup sesame seeds
- 2 cups water
- Salt
- ⅓ cup sesame oil
- Water for soaking rice
Topping
- Rooted Fare Black Sesame Butter
Directions
Combine uncooked glutinous black & white rice in a bowl.
Rinse the rice and let it soak in water overnight.
Drain water and add in the rice into a rice cooker, along with 2 cups of water.
Turn the rice cooker on.
Once cooked, let the rice cool down.
In a food processor, blend sesame seeds, salt & ⅓ cup sesame oil.
Add in the cooked rice (small batches at a time) into the food processor and blend until texture is consistent.
Transfer into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 1 min.
With a spatula, give the blended sticky rice a nice stir and microwave for 3-7 mins (a couple mins at a time until it becomes a thick/doughy consistency).
Transfer into a 8.5”x4.5” lined pan and let it cool/sit in the fridge.
After a couple hours, take it out the fridge and slice dough into even pieces.
Pan fry until crispy in sesame oil.
- Pair it with Rooted Fare’s Black Sesame Butter and enjoy!
