Sweet (Sticky) Rice

This chalky white long grain glutinous rice, grown in South Asia, is naturally fragrant. When cooked this rice becomes translucent, shiny and sticky glue-like texture, and unique delicous taste.

Sticky rice is eaten as a staple meal, as a side to your favorite dish or stir-fries, as well as dishes that have a lot of sauce, or turn it into dessert by adding fruit and sweetened coconut milk.

Traditionally sticky rice is steamed in long funnel-like baskets, or cooked on stove top
