Using this same method, make indents with your thumb into a small ball-shaped morsel for "scooping" up bits of food. In time you will be a pro (practice makes perfect). And make sure you wash your hands before you eat as always!

Enjoy, and don't get caught making little animal shapes with your rice, because you really shouldn't play with your food! Once, when I was a kid in elementary school, I brought a miniature basket of sticky rice with me as lunch. In addition to this, I had something called seen haang which is what many Lao describe as Lao beef jerky. All of the kids at my table were fascinated by what to me was a typical lunch.

I'm still learning about the many varieties of Filipino dishes and your comment has sure shed some light on some of them.

Nice hub, thanks for sharing. I'm glad I was able to help out! There's nothing like the smell of sticky rice steaming in the morning!
