How to Make Sticky Rice (Foolproof Method!)

• portions: 4 servings
• temps total: 45 minutes

Ingrédients

2 cups sweet rice/sticky rice/glutinous rice

Water

Instructions

Add the sticky rice to a mixing bowl or other deep container. Fill it with water so that the water level is at least 3 inches above the rice, as the rice will expand when soaking.

Soak for 6 to 24 hours. Soak it longer if you want your sticky rice to have a softer texture.

Drain the water (no need to shake off the excess water), and evenly arrange the soaked sticky rice on a heat-proof, rimmed plate or bamboo steamer lined with natural steamer liners or parchment paper.

Cover and steam for 30-45 minutes. When making larger batch of rice, steam in two batches or steam longer. You can check the rice and increase the steaming time if need be.

Keep the sticky rice in the steamer or covered to prevent drying out until you serve it or use it in a recipe.
