Vegan Sticky Rice with Bean Sauce

Sticky Rice Balls with Refried Black Beans

Sticky rice made right shouldn't stick to your hands at all. Mine was slightly overcooked.

1 cup uncooked sticky rice

1 TBS oil

1/2 can refried black beans

1 tsp sriracha

1 tsp lime juice

1 clove garlic, minced

1/3 - 1/2 cup water

Okay, super short entry on the lunch I had the other day.  Had some left over canned, refried black beans from Trader Joe's.  I made sticky rice, and heated up the beans in a sauce pan with the other listed ingredients to make a simple sauce.

To make sticky rice, you soak the rice for at least an hour, then steam it, covered, for 10 minutes, stir, and steam, covered, for another 3 to 5 minutes.  When perfectly cooked, you should be able to eat it with your hands, without getting messy.  Although long winded, there is a great video explanation of the proper technique here.
