Steps

1. 1

   Combine the black and white rices in a mixing bowl. Ensure they are submerged in cold water by at least an inch, then refrigerate and let them soak overnight.

2. 2

   Place multiple layers of cheesecloth in a bamboo steamer to prepare for steaming.

3. 3

   Begin by draining and washing the rice before laying it out in the steamer along with the bai-toey leaf. Position the steamer on top of a pot filled with gently simmering water. Allow the black rice to steam until it reaches a chewy texture, ensuring it is not overly crunchy, which should take approximately 3 to 4 hours. Monitor the water level periodically, adding boiling water as needed to prevent it from running low during the steaming process.
