Sticky Rice Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the glutinous rice in a bowl and rinse it under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.
- 2
Soak the Rice
After rinsing, soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the rice to absorb water and soften.
- 3
Prepare the Steamer
Fill a steamer pot with water and bring it to a boil. If you don't have a steamer, you can use a metal colander lined with cheesecloth.
- 4
Steam the Rice
Drain the soaked rice and place it in the steamer basket. Spread it evenly and steam for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is translucent and sticky.
- 5
Season the Rice
Once cooked, transfer the sticky rice to a bowl, sprinkle with salt, and mix gently to combine.
- 6
Serve
Serve the sticky rice warm as a side dish or with your favorite dipping sauce.
