Cooking Instructions for Sticky Rice
- 1
Prepare the Rice
Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.
- 2
Soak the Rice
Soak the rinsed rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- 3
Steam the Rice
Drain the soaked rice and place it in a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth. Steam for about 30-40 minutes, or until the rice is translucent and sticky.
- 4
Add Butter and Cheese
Once cooked, transfer the sticky rice to a mixing bowl. While it's still warm, add butter, grated Parmesan cheese, and salt. Mix well until the butter is melted and evenly distributed.
- 5
Serve
Serve the sticky rice warm as a side dish or a main dish as desired.
