Khao Jee Recipe (Sticky Rice With Egg)
Khao jee is a Thai street food recipe featuring sticky rice coated with egg and grilled into crispy rice patties—perfect as a breakfast option.
Ingredients
- 4 cups glutinous rice
- 1 1/2 tablespoon golden mountain sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 eggs, you can use chicken or duck eggs
Instructions
- Soak glutinous rice for at least 4 hours or overnight, then wash it three times to remove excess starch. Place the rice on a cheesecloth parcel in a steamer tray, fold the cloth to cover, and steam for 20 minutes with the lid closed. For detailed steps, see my Thai sticky rice recipe.
- Allow the sticky rice to cool down slightly by spreading it on a baking sheet, then knead it into hamburger shaped patties.
- Beat the eggs with golden mountain sauce in a large bowl.
- Grill sticky rice patties on low heat, flipping them often to avoid burning. Brush with beaten eggs twice while grilling, and season with salt on each side. Cook until golden brown, but be careful not to overcook to prevent hardening. Serve hot.
