Khao Tom Mat
Thai banana and coconut sticky-rice parcels with black beans, steamed in banana leaves.
About Khao Tom Mat
Khao Tom Mat, also written khao tom mud, is a Thai banana-and-sticky-rice parcel steamed in banana leaf. This profile follows an Isan family recipe that includes black beans.
Coconut milk and white sugar give the sticky rice a mellow sweetness, with salt sharpening the flavour. Ripe banana becomes soft and fragrant while black beans add an earthy contrast.
Opening the dark green wrapper reveals a compact pale rice parcel dotted with black beans and a warm banana centre. The grains are cohesive and chewy, while the fruit is tender and creamy.

The khao tom reference independently corroborates the Thai and Lao banana-leaf parcel tradition and its sticky-rice, banana and coconut-milk core.
