Combine Ingredients
Begin by placing all the ingredients into a large saucepan. Allow the mixture to sit undisturbed for about five minutes. This brief resting period helps the flavors of the lemongrass and garlic infuse into the water.

Cook the Rice
After the five minutes have passed, cover the saucepan with a lid and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the rice simmer for 10 minutes. During this time, the rice will absorb the fragrant water, creating a deliciously aromatic flavor profile. -
Rest the Rice
Once the water is fully absorbed, remove the saucepan from the heat but keep it covered. Allow it to sit undisturbed for an additional five minutes. This resting step is crucial as it allows the rice to finish cooking through the residual steam, resulting in a fluffy texture. -
Serve
After resting, carefully remove the flavorings, such as the lemongrass and red chile, if desired. Fluff the rice gently with a fork to separate the grains, then transfer it to a serving dish. -
Enjoy
Serve the Aromatic Sticky Rice immediately while it is still very hot. This dish pairs wonderfully with a variety of Thai curries, stir-fries, or can be enjoyed as a standalone side dish.
Conclusion
Aromatic Sticky Rice is a versatile and simple dish that brings the flavors of Thailand to your dining table. With its delightful aroma and fluffy texture, it’s perfect for both special occasions and everyday meals. Enjoy this recipe from Love With Recipes and bring a taste of Thai cuisine into your home!
