How this kind of dish is made

The source documents this dish but not a method specific to it. The steps below describe how dishes of this kind are generally made.

  1. Rinse and, when appropriate, soak the rice.

  2. Prepare the accompanying ingredients separately.

  3. Parboil or cook the rice by the kateh method.

  4. Layer or combine the rice and other ingredients.

  5. Steam gently and serve.

Cook's notes

Avoid overcooking the rice or breaking the grains; a short rest after steaming improves texture and moisture distribution.
