Then soak the sticky rice in water for about 3 hours. After that, drain the water completely. Place the glutinous rice onto a thin white cloth. Place pandan leaves at the bottom of the pot so that the rice will give off a sweet smell while steaming. Set the crock pot over medium heat. Add water and wait until it boils.
