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

Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

Preparation:
