Step 1
Rinse sticky rice under cold water until water runs clear, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Combine rice, coconut milk, water, and salt in a pot. Stir, bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
Step 4
If using banana leaves, quickly soften over a gas flame or in hot water, then divide rice between the leaves and fold into parcels.
Step 5
If using parchment, divide warm rice between two sheets, fold loosely, and let cool 1 minute.
Step 6
Unwrap, top with sesame seeds if desired, and serve warm.
