Purple Sticky Rice: Mov Nplaum Ntshaav [cooking W-grandma]

Nyob Zoo Foodies!
Today, my grandma will show you how she likes to steam short grain purple sticky rice. I wanted to film this video with her since she always makes the perfect purple sticky rice. Purple sticky rice is commonly eaten during Hmong New year but it can be eaten all year round. Great with grilled meat, soups, papaya salad, as a dessert, etc. Let me know what you like to eat sticky rice with and how you like to make purple sticky rice. It takes practice to steam the sticky rice to your desire texture.

So I hope you all enjoy this humble video. As always, through years of experience, my grandma doesn't do exact measurements. It's all by feels & years of making it. They know how much and when it's ready. So I hope you are able to follow along and just enjoy some time with her.

Happy Hmong New Year and Happy Cooking!
Hope you all are keeping yourself safe and healthy.

My name is Cindy Her and I have been cooking and baking for quite a long time now! Hmong food culture and tradition is dear to my heart and I wanted to keep our roots intact somewhere. So this is why I started this channel to keep me and you connected to the Hmong culture. I hope you all learn a little bit about the Hmong food culture and try out these recipes! As always, happy cooking :)
