Does anyone know how to make sticky rice. Do you use a particular kind of rice or is it the way it's cooked?

Answer 1

add extra water to it

Answer 2

Sticky rice, also called sweet rice, is a Thai dish and our favorite kind of rice. In many Thai restaurants it is served cold with a coconut cream sauce and sliced mango for dessert. Sticky rice comes in both white and black, and the black rice cooks up to be a deep blackish-maroon that is very pretty.
Sticky rice is also eaten in place of regular Thai jasmine rice and we very much prefer sticky rice! It is easy to cook, if you have the right tools - an aluminum pot and rice basket as seen below. We have never successfully made it in a Japanese style electric rice cooker!

Start the rice at least 8 hours before the meal. Allow about 1 cup of rice per person. Wash the rice very well in cold water until the water runs clear. Let the rice soak covered in cold water until you are ready to use. (If you are in a big hurry and forgot to soak the rice, we have used very hot water in place of the cold and soaked the rice for 3 hours in several changes of hot water and it works fairly well.)

Bring water in the aluminum pot to a boil. Dump rice into steaming basket and let drain. Put steaming basket over the pot of water and cover loosely with a dish towel. Let steam for half an hour for 2 cups of rice and another 5 minutes for each additional cup - it isn't that fussy. The steamer won't hold more than 6 cups, we think.

To serve, take the basket off the pot and remove the dish towel. Put a bowl over the basket, flip the basket and the rice will drop into the bowl as a kind of molded together unit. Serve in hunks with dishes that have a lot of sauce. Wash or soak the basket immediately!

If you need to hold the rice once it is cooked, turn the heat down to low and the rice will stay warm - but you should serve it within 15 minutes or so. The rice really stiffens up when refrigerated but will soften again when reheated (though we rarely have leftovers & if we do they usually go to the chickens who are crazy about the stuff.)

Answer 3

Boil the rice, drain the water off and put rice back into pan. Add a good dollop of condensed milk, reheat and stir until the rice becomes as sticky. Presonal choice depends on how sticky you would like it to become. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

Lol, I just had my mom show me how to make it the other day. You need glutonous rice to make it (yes, that is a different type). You need to soak it in water for about 3 hours before you steam it to give it enough moisture to become sticky. Then you stick it in a sticky rice steamer and steam it for about 15-20 minutes. You;ll have to buy the steamer thing, but they are very cheap and shouldn't cost more than $10. The webpage below is where you can buy one for cheap online if you don't have an asian food store close to you. Good luck!

Answer 5

You can use most any type of rice, but there is rice that's specifically for sticky rice or sushi rice; you'd probably have to add something to regular Uncle Ben's, for instance, unless you used a bit less water but something else of substance; maybe something spicy sweet or an egg and chives with hoisin...go wild!

Answer 6

Sticky rice, aka glutinous rice or sweet rice, is different from the long grain white rice that you're used to seeing in most U. S. groceries. You can purchase it from Asian markets or at supermarkets with larger ethnic food sections.

It's usually cooked by steaming, not the traditional boiling method used for long grain rice.

Answer 7

It is a particular kind of rice. You can go to Wikipedia and lookup “glutinous rice” for more information on the varieties. There is a recipe for “Sticky Rice with Chinese Sausages” at this URL: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe_views/views/230998

Answer 9

You'll need to purchase sticky rice (either online or at your local asian supermarket). Be sure to rinse it well in cold water before use. If you'd like to see the kind of rice you'll need (as well as some of the nifty cooking implements used to make it), click here:
