How can make rice more sticky when I cook it in a rice cooker?

Answer 1

You can either add a bit of sticky rice to plain rice, or add just a bit more water than required, to make the rice softer and fluffier, and thus stickier.

Answer 2

It has to be the rice you are using. Short grain rice is the best for sticky rice, like Cal Rose or Hanodi.
The way I do it is to wash the rice a few times until the water is clear. Drain as much as possible and let the rice sit in the remaining water for a half hour or so. One cup of rice, one and a half to two cups water, depends on your rice cooker, will give you three cups of sticky rice.
I never use long grain rice as I don't like fluffy rice. Sticky is the only way to cook rice.

Answer 3

I find that it gets nice and sticky if I take the cooking pan out of the warmer and set it aside for 15-20 minutes with the lid on after I cook it.
Most of the time, I use jasmine or long grain rice.
I also add salt and a bit of margarine to the rice when I put it in:

1 cup rice
1 1/2 cups water
1 tsp salt
1 tbs butter/margarine/olive oil

not more water, less water
trust me.
dont follow the directions on the bag when u use a rice cooker. just do 1:1 ratio of water to rice and itll come out sticky and chewy

Answer 5

Sounds like you are using the wrong rice. Italian or American rice are not that sticky. Try Japanese rice as that has a higher gluten level and is naturally sticky.

Answer 6

I sometimes use sushi rice - designed for sushi making, and i mix it with a bit of sushi vinegar. Very sticky, very enjoyable!
