Sweet Sticky Rice Balls with Coconut Milk

Soak sticky rice overnight (about 12 hours) in a bowl of cold water. Drain well in a colander. In a saucepan, combine rice with coconut milk, a pinch of salt, sugar and enough water to cover rice by 1 cm (approximately 1/2 inch). Bring to a boil, cover and simmer over low heat about 20 minutes. The liquid should be completely absorbed by the rice. Remove lid and let cool.
