Notes

For added flavor, you can top the sticky rice cake with toasted sesame seeds or grated cheese before serving. Ensure that the rice is thoroughly cooked before mixing it with the coconut milk mixture to achieve the perfect texture. If you prefer a sweeter cake, you can adjust the amount of brown sugar to taste.
