STICKY RICE

Steps:

• Soak the rice in a medium bowl with enough cold water to cover by 2 inches for at least 8 hours or overnight.
• Fill a large pot or wok that fits an 8-to-10-inch steamer basket with water (the water shouldn't touch the bottom of the steamer) and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Line the basket with two layers of damp cheesecloth or a damp lint-free linen towel. Drain the rice, spread it in an even layer in the basket and poke a few holes halfway through the layer. Cover the basket, insert it in the pot and steam for 25 minutes (see Cook's Note).
• Uncover the basket, securely hold an upside-down plate against the top of the rice and carefully flip the plate and basket. Set the plate on a work surface, lift off the basket and peel off the cheesecloth from the rice. Line the basket with the cheesecloth, then slide the rice onto the cheesecloth.
• Cover the basket, insert it in the pot again and steam until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Serve right away or keep warm over low heat for no longer than about 2 hours or the rice will harden and become inedible.

STICKY RICE

Steps:

• Place your preferred amount of rice in the rice cooker and wash three times by filling pot with water and draining it off just until the rice is about to spill out of the pot.
• After washing, fill pot with water until the water reaches the first line of your middle finger when you stick your middle finger down and JUST touch the rice.
• Cook rice using cooker, which automatically shuts off or clicks to warm setting depending on your cooker.
• Your rice should be nice and sticky and soak up the great flavors of anything you are adding to it, and it should also be great by itself.
• *Note* Over-washing rice will give it a distinctive fishy flavor that is NOT good.

PERFECT STICKY RICE

Steps:

• Pour rice into saucepan, amount will vary depending on how many you are serving.
• Fill the saucepan with water, covering the rice completely.
• The water should be over the rice up to the first knuckle on your finger.
• Set to medium heat, cover slightly leaving a space for the water to escape, and let cook until all the water has evaporated, DO NOT STIR!
• *For chicken or beef flavored rice add ONE bullion cube to the water just before placing on the stove.
