The anions stick to the cations.
A cation is an atom or molecule that has gained a positive charge. This often happens in water, because of the unique nature of the water molecule which, like a magnet, has positive and negative ends (it is "polar"). Rice is cooked in water.
An anion is an atom or molecule that has a negative charge. The Halogens are missing one electron in their last shell, so they very quickly absorb one electron and have a charge of -1. Most of the common anions are not single atoms, however, but groups of atoms, called molecules. Examples include sulfates and carbonates. Salt contains carbonates, which is one thing you might add to the rice you're cooking.
I know, you were expecting a funny answer. Sorry, I'm usually much funnier.

It isn't "Stick". It's called Sticky Rice. It's sticky because it's moist from being steamed. Try eating dry rice with chopsticks. It's darned near impossible. That's why the Asians eat Fried Rice, which is fairly dry, with a spoon.
