Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Thoroughly rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Soak the Rice

    Soak the rinsed rice in water for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

  3. 3

    Drain the Rice

    After soaking, drain the rice using a fine mesh strainer.

  4. 4

    Cook the Rice

    In a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel, add the drained rice. Steam over simmering water for about 30-40 minutes, or until the rice is tender and sticky.

  5. 5

    Season the Rice

    Once cooked, transfer the sticky rice to a mixing bowl. Add salt and mix gently to combine.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve warm as a side dish or with your favorite dipping sauce.
