NOTES:

  1. Sweet Rice:

      Also known as "glutinous rice" (it contains no gluten) and "sticky rice", this chalky looking rice is available in just about all East and Southeast Asian markets. It's usually packed in smaller bags because (except in Laos and the Laotian part of northern Thailand) it's used mainly for sweets. There are two varieties, Thai Long Grain, and Short Grain everywhere else. Either can be used.
  2. U.S. measure: t=teaspoon, T=Tablespoon, c=cup, qt=quart, oz=ounce, #=pound, cl=clove in=inch, ar=as required tt=to taste
