Ingredients
- 2 cups sweet rice/sticky rice/glutinous rice
- Water
Instructions
- Add the sticky rice to a mixing bowl or other deep container. Fill it with water so that the water level is at least 3 inches above the rice, as the rice will expand when soaking.
- Soak for 6 to 24 hours. Soak it longer if you want your sticky rice to have a softer texture.
- Drain the water (no need to shake off the excess water), and evenly arrange the soaked sticky rice on a heat-proof, rimmed plate or bamboo steamer lined with natural steamer liners or parchment paper.
- Cover and steam for 30-45 minutes. When making larger batch of rice, steam in two batches or steam longer. You can check the rice and increase the steaming time if need be.
- Keep the sticky rice in the steamer or covered to prevent drying out until you serve it or use it in a recipe.
