How to cook sticky rice on the stove.?

Question

Can anyone please tell me how to cook glutinous rice (Korean style) on the stove? I need a step by step break down, please. How much do I wash it, does it need to soak (if so, how long?), how much water to rice? I do NOT have a rice cooker, so I need to know how to cook it on the stove. I just want plain glutinous rice, nothing special. If possible, can you tell me how much cooked rice it makes? thanks!

Answer 1

2 cups rice
2 3/4 cups water

Bring rice to boil, (add salt if you like).

Cover and and turn down to a low simmer for 15-20 minutes.

Answer 2

the more rinsing you do, the less glutinous it will be, so don't rinse. Sort through the rice and pick out any stones. I would also recommend organic if you are not going to rinse. Use 2 cups water for every cup rice. You don't need to soak it. Add the water (cold) to the rice and heat on high until the water boils. Stir it occasionally so that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. Once it comes to a boil, give it one last stir, put the lid on, and turn the heat all the way down. If gas, so that the flame is barely there, if electric, just above 'sim' setting...electric takes some work to find the best temp, but it is usually a bit higher than the lowest setting. Then, don't touch it. Don't lift the lid. Don't stir it. Heck, don't even look at it. After the lid goes on and the temp goes down, it should take about 25 minutes. Good luck!

Answer 3

add both rice and water to a pan at the same time. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook covered and when 20 minutes has elapsed take off heat and let rest 10 minutes. Viola sticky rice oh and for every cup of rice 1 and 1/3 cups water. You are dealing with a different animal with short grain rice vs long grain. If you use the 2 to 1 method you will have goop.

Answer 4

Look, I know you don't have a rice cooker, but I am a recent convert and it is so worth the money. You can also steam veggies in it and it comes with a booklet of the ratios for cooking all types of rice. Once the rice is done, it keeps it warm for up to an hour. You never run the risk of burning it or drying it out.

That said, stove or cooker, buy short grain for sticky consistency.

Answer 5

one cup of rice to 2 cups of water.
wash the glutinous rice till water turns visible and not powdery.
In a pot, put all equivalent amount stated above. Put in the stove and bring to boil. When the pot is boiling, lower the fire, very low till it cooks.

Answer 6

The most important thing is to use a short grain rice... it will have a lot more starch which is what makes "sticky rice" sticky.
