Description

Sticky rice, also known as glutinous rice or sweet rice, is a staple in many Southeast Asian cuisines, including the Philippines. It is a type of short-grain rice that becomes sticky and chewy when cooked, perfect for pairing with savory or sweet dishes.

Prep Time

30 minutes

Cook Time

45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups sticky rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • Rice cooker or pot with lid
  • Mixing bowl
  • Strainer

Method

  1. Wash the sticky rice in a strainer until the water runs clear.
  2. Soak the rice in water for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  3. Drain the rice and transfer it to a rice cooker or pot with a lid.
  4. Add 2 cups of water and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the rice.
  5. Cook the rice in the rice cooker or pot according to its instructions.
  6. In a mixing bowl, mix 1/2 cup of coconut milk and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  7. When the rice is done, transfer it to the mixing bowl with the coconut milk and salt mixture.
  8. Mix well until the rice is coated with the coconut milk mixture.
  9. Transfer the rice back to the rice cooker or pot and let it sit on the "keep warm" setting for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  10. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.

Notes

It is important to use glutinous or sticky rice for this recipe, as regular rice will not produce the same sticky texture. If you cannot find sticky rice, it can be purchased online or at Asian grocery stores.

Recipe Tips

  • You can adjust the amount of coconut milk to your liking. Some prefer a stronger coconut flavor, while others prefer a milder taste.
  • If you do not have a rice cooker, you can use a pot with a tight-fitting lid. Follow the same steps, but bring the water to a boil first before reducing the heat to low and simmering for 18-20 minutes.
  • Leftover sticky rice can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, add a splash of water and microwave for 1-2 minutes, or steam on the stove for 5-10 minutes.
