Laotion (Thai/Viet) Style Sticky Rice, after making sticky rice do you knead the rice in something specific?
I have been trying to replicate some sticky rice that I ate during my childhood. I know you have to rinse the glutinous rice several times and let it soak for a good period of time. I then used my rice cooker instead of my bamboo steamer and it did a pretty good job. (I am using calrose rice)
After removing from the rice cooker the rice is extremely sticky, I remember watching my friend's dad prepare this every morning and he would knead the rice in a substance on the counter top. I believe that it was rice flour. Any ideas on if this is what should be used to knead the rice in? I am not talking about sushi rice. I will make that some other time.
I have read all the posts on sticky rice on Seasoned Advice but have came up with nothing regarding this. (Also, searched the web)

Thai people we separate sticky rice on a big round tray after steam it to cool down and get rid of steam heat which will make rice is over cook and become too sticky. If you want to cook from rice cooker soak sticky rice over night and in the morning wash it with water 2-3 times then add water about the same level of sticky rice if you add water too much it will too sticky.
Enjoy your meal !

Do you rinse glutinous rice?
Once the rice has soaked, you need to drain it and then rinse it repeatedly to wash off excess starch. Though you may be tempted, holding a strainer filled with rice under running water will not do the trick.Why is my sticky rice not sticky?
Rice sticks to itself because of starch on the surface. As Joe pointed out, if it's actually still wet, it's not going to stick. It doesn't get sticky until it's dry enough for the starch to be sticky instead of just starchy water.How do you make sticky rice moist?
Another important tip is that glutinous rice dries out and hardens quickly at room temperature. Make sure it stays warm and covered before serving or adding to a recipe. It's best to serve it hot, since cold, hardened glutinous rice can be hard to digest.How to Make Thai Mango Sticky Rice ข้าวเหนียวมะม่วงหอมหวานจ้า

Answer 2
I surveyed many recipes available by googling "Loation sticky rice", "Thai sticky rice" and "Viet sticky rice".
None of them mentioned kneading anything in after 30 or 40 recipes, although many mention fluffing, folding, or stirring the rice after cooking or steaming to manage the texture.
Several did mention that it is appropriate for eating with one's hands. The key may be the variety of rice that is used. Short grained glutinous rice will have the sticky texture desired.
