A delightful twist on traditional sticky rice, perfect for any occasion.
Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear.
Rinsing removes excess starch, preventing the rice from becoming overly sticky.
Soak the rice in filtered water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Soaking allows the rice to absorb water, ensuring even cooking.
Drain the soaked rice and spread it evenly on a wet cloth inside the steamer.
Using a wet cloth prevents the rice from sticking to the steamer.
Steam the rice over boiling water for 30-40 minutes, checking occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Fluff the rice gently with a spoon halfway through steaming for uniform texture.
Serve the sticky rice warm as a side dish or with your favorite toppings.
Sticky rice pairs wonderfully with sweet or savory accompaniments.
