This is a secret family recipe, translated literally as “completed sticky rice”. It’s complete because it contains both the sticky rice and the custard which are normally prepared separately.
My daughter and I prepared it for her friends. She left some of the edges (the best part) for me. This dessert has always been a favourite for special occasions. My Thai family also had a secret curry recipe called “satay curry”. I have made it a few times in the years since returning to Canada. It is so delicious but I have a hard time finding the ingredients.
How many families have secret recipes? I am careful to keep these recipes secret and passed on only to my children out of respect for the Thai side of their family but I’m not sure I understand why something so delicious should be kept secret. Shouldn’t things as wonderful as those two recipes be shared so more people can enjoy?
Do you have a secret family recipe? Would you share it?
