Rinse the sticky rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
~2 min - 2
In a medium pot, combine the rinsed sticky rice, coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt. Stir to combine.

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
~20 min - 4
While the rice is cooking, slice the Thai sausage into bite-sized pieces.
~3 min - 5
Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the sausage slices and cook until browned and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
~7 min - 6
Finely chop the cilantro and green onions. If using, thinly slice the bird's eye chilies.

To serve, spoon the coconut sticky rice into bowls. Top with the crispy sausage, chopped cilantro, green onions, and chilies (if desired).

Tips
- For extra flavor, you can steam the sticky rice instead of simmering it on the stovetop. Soak the rice for at least 4 hours or overnight, then steam for 20-30 minutes in a bamboo steamer lined with cheesecloth.
- Thai pork sausages can vary in spice level. Adjust the amount of chilies to your preference, or omit them if you prefer a milder breakfast.
