Strain again and place on cheese cloth then using the cheese cloth tie the rice into a ball.
  2. Place the ball of rice in the cheese clothe into a steam basket over simmering water. Steam for 15 minutes then turn over and steam for another 15 minutes. This should make the perfect stick rice.

  6. Place pan in oven at 400 degrees until you see the rice start to brown and get crispy.
  7. While the rice is in the oven steam the bok choy and season with sesame oil and Togarashi.
  8. Serve rice over a bed of bok choy and season with Togarashi and chili crispy garnish with scallions.
