====Description====
Common dessert found in Thai restaurants. Typically requires overnight soaking of rice and steaming. With the instant pot, we can skip soaking and have it ready in a half hour.



====Ingredients====
  *Glutinous rice: 1/2 cup (do not rinse) \\ \\ 
  *Coconut milk: 1/3 cup
  *Light brown sugar: 2 tbsp
  *Table salt: 1/6 tsp

====Notes====
  *Serve with mango or Thai custard (quick recipe: beat 1 egg, 1/3 cup coconut milk, 2 tbsp light brown sugar together in a small bowl. Steam with 1 cup water in instant pot for ~12 minutes)
  *The pot-in-pot equipment used to write this recipe consisted of a pyrex glass bowl with a 6 inch inner diameter and the screen on lid from a mason jar as a trivet
  *I've had success halving the recipe by halving all the sauce components, the rice, and using 3 tbsp (slightly more than half) of the water in the steaming bowl. I reduced the high pressure time to 12 minutes
  

====Instructions====
  -Add 1 cup of water to the instant pot, then place trivet and steaming bowl inside
  -Add rice and 1/3 cup water to steaming bowl, mix together
  -Cook on high pressure for 17 minutes, quick release
  -Heat coconut milk with sugar and salt until dissolved
  -Mix rice and coconut milk sauce together, serve
