Instructions
Prepare the Sticky Rice:

- Carefully lift one edge of the plastic wrap and start rolling the rice over the fillings, using the plastic wrap to help shape and tighten the roll. Continue rolling until you have a compact roll.
- Twist the ends of the plastic wrap to secure the roll, then gently press the roll to ensure it is firm and holds together.
Slice and Serve:
- Let the roll sit for a few minutes to set.Carefully unwrap the plastic wrap and use a sharp knife to slice the roll in half.
