1.

In a dry skillet, pour in the Thai glutinous rice and dry roast for about 15-20 min over medium-low heat. Make sure to turn constantly, until they resemble grain. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.

Thinly slice the shallot and scallions. Finely chop the lemongrass. Wash and dry the mint and cilantro and remove the stems.
