No garlic in there?

Great recipe! Thanks! A lot of confusion is around the word pakshee indeed. To the best of my jungle-knowledge ผักชี is koriander and not parsley.

Great thing about this sauce it' s spicy/sour/sweet and fishy at the same time

[poanoi]

Fortunately the palm sugar dont make it sweet tasting, and i also use just a tad lime juice,

i like spice, but i also want my sauce cared and nursed, and with some to chew on.

The plain chilipowder/water mix is disheartening

Very refined sauce taste paonoi. I can imagine it' s a great sauce to dip your sticky rice in.

Is the string union you mentioned similar to a chalotte?

[poanoi]

Yes, if i got this right, string onion is simply a young chalotte, just a bit milder

Great info! You have got your stuff together. TV helps me bring back a lot of words that got lost in translation before. Thanks poanoi! I will use your recipe soon.

Ah, the study was conducted in the north of Thailand by Chaing Mai, University. Sticky rice is very popular in the north. What would be the results of a similar study conducted with "One hundred and seven overweight to mildly obese type-2 diabetes patients, age of 45-65 years" conducted in Hat Yai? Would the results be the same, I don't think so, maybe eating roti would cause diabetes.

Yes but we are talking about eating sticky rice not roti.

[lomatopo]

The higher sugar content definitely makes it much more palatable, perhaps even addictive. For children it must seem like nature's candy?

In exactly what way does a chopped stem of a spring union, shallot and chive taste different to people ?

Or do most people simply select them based upon differences in bite and looks ?

My taste is probably not refined enough to detect a difference in taste between the green colored stems of spring unions and shallots.

Sometimes I like to add last minute chopped chives to a hot dish not only because of its relative strong bite but especially because in my mouth chopped chives (in Dutch "bieslook") simulates a spicy taste without being real spicy.

If you look the OP asked if you thought sticky rice was addictive, so your post about it causing diabetes is as far off topic as mine. This posting has wondered off topic as all do but how would we survive if they didn't. It would just be a poll, check yes or! no

[MrRed]

The sugar content in sticky rice does cause it to become addictive to many and the tests carried out by Chiang Mai University back that up ......because of the high sugar content it also brings on Diabetes in many Thai people also.

Sticky Rice=Sugar=Diabetes

Your post on the famous southern Roti is different as unless you are eating the sweet ones then no sugar is used,but maybe the use of oil in frying and ingredients can make people become overweight and also bring on Diabetes

Yes they all wonder off topic.

Good point if it's supported. Would there more obese people in the north compared to the south of Thailand? Is there any proof of the studies you mentioned? BTW, i like roti with chicken and potatoe. Roti doesn't necessarily contain sticky rice, it' s usually cooked with normal rice....

[MrRed]

They are cooked with normal flour or rice flour,i don't know of any dish that is cooked with normal rice?

[Dancealot]

What is normal rice?

[MrRed]

Boiled rice .....Kao suay,i suppose they could use Kao pat but why would they? and i am positive that they would not make roti with kao neaw

Actually i am positive that they don't use rice in the making of roti at all,unless of course you know different.....still waiting on your input!

By the way why are you asking what is normal rice when you said " Roti doesn't necessarily contain sticky rice, it' s usually cooked with normal rice...." in the above post

[Dancealot]

Sorry Red i just wondered what you meant with normal rice. So you interpreted my question wrongly or i didn't write it well. I also didn't mean roti is cooked with rice buti forgot to mention you can eat roti with rice. If i was unclear then my apologies.

Does it really matter to discuss this? It's just good fun to talk about this i think. I was surprised you knew about roti and i liked that. :-)

If you want to go that way i can go along, before you stated you were not a doctor but you mentioned this after:

"The sugar content in sticky rice does cause it to become addictive to many and the tests carried out by Chiang Mai University back that up ......because of the high sugar content it also brings on Diabetes in many Thai people also.

Let's keep it normal and talk about sticky rice some more please because i love it.

It took me a few lesson to learn to cook it. You have to know a lot about cooking it before you can actually do it. I prefer to use the traditional process using the sticky rice basket.

[Cheesekraft]

yes it is addictive, it is a burst of sugar for the body, which enjoys those spikes.

[Dancealot]

Lately i heard sticky rice can be cooked using a rice cooker. Anyone know how?

[thehelmsman]

My girl in Issan knows not to eat too much rice. We try to have one meal of only soup on most days usually with squid and prawn..

She knows the danger of too much starch.

[Dancealot]

What is it?

[elektrified]

Addicting? Tastes like crap. How could it be?

[Dancealot]

What is the danger of too much starch?

[thehelmsman]

What is the danger of too much starch?

Starch is turned into sugar - which is a contributor to diabetes.

Nothing to be said about the downside to eating too much sticky rice - everything in moderation - everything.

[MrRed]

What is the danger of too much starch?

Read about additives such as E numbers.

[Dancealot]

Thanks for the warning guys. I will moderate..

[phuturatica]

I actually don't like sticky rice and I avoid rice if I can. I sick of it now.

[MrRed]

There is always noodles until you get sick of them too

[phuturatica]

There is always noodles until you get sick of them too

I'm sick of both... I'm all riced and noodled out.
