Preparing the Rice

Rinse the Rice
Place the glutinous rice in a large bowl and rinse under cold water. Swirl the rice with your hands to remove excess starch. Drain and repeat until the water runs clear, about 3-4 times.

After rinsing, cover the rice with water and let it soak for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Prepare the Steamer
Fill a steamer pot with water and bring it to a boil. Line the steamer basket with cheesecloth or banana leaves to prevent the rice from falling through.
