Sticky Rice

By Linda Larsen, About.com

For automatically sticky rice, cook medium or short grain rice as directed on the package. You can also use long-grain rice, using more water than traditional recipes. Do not rinse the rice, as this removes surface starch which makes the rice sticky.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 tsp. salt

Preparation:

Combine rice, water and salt in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for about 20 minutes, until rice is tender. Remove pot from heat and let stand 10 minutes longer to steam. 4-6 servings
