Khao Niew, or Thai sticky rice, is a staple of northern and northeastern Thailand (Isaan and Lanna regions) made from glutinous rice soaked and steamed in a bamboo basket until soft and chewy. It’s traditionally eaten by hand and served with dishes like Som Tum, Larb, Gai Yang, or as part of sweet treats like Mango Sticky Rice (Khao Niew Mamuang). Unlike jasmine rice, sticky rice is more compact and elastic, making it perfect for dipping into sauces or scooping up spicy salads and grilled meats.
