Sticky Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Wash rice several times (until the water is clear).
• Let soak for a few minutes in colander.
• Put rice in pan with tight fitting lid and add the water.
• Cover and bring to a boil.
• Simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat and quickly stretch clean tea towel over the pot, cover with lid.
• Let sit off heat for another 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Put rice in a bowl and rinse several times in cold water until water is clear, not milky, then drain. Cover rice with cold water and let soak for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
• Drain rice using a fine-meshed sieve or colander (line with cheesecloth if colander holes are too large). Place rice over a pot of rapidly simmering water (don't allow water to touch sieve) and steam, covered, for 15 minutes.
• Remove lid and flip rice over. Continue steaming, covered, for 10 minutes, until rice is translucent and glossy. Taste to make sure rice is completely cooked; it may take up to 10 minutes more. Turn off heat. Fluff rice with a wooden spoon, then cover and let rest for 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Soak the rice in a medium bowl with enough cold water to cover by 2 inches for at least 8 hours or overnight.
• Fill a large pot or wok that fits an 8-to-10-inch steamer basket with water (the water shouldn't touch the bottom of the steamer) and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Line the basket with two layers of damp cheesecloth or a damp lint-free linen towel. Drain the rice, spread it in an even layer in the basket and poke a few holes halfway through the layer. Cover the basket, insert it in the pot and steam for 25 minutes (see Cook's Note).
• Uncover the basket, securely hold an upside-down plate against the top of the rice and carefully flip the plate and basket. Set the plate on a work surface, lift off the basket and peel off the cheesecloth from the rice. Line the basket with the cheesecloth, then slide the rice onto the cheesecloth.
• Cover the basket, insert it in the pot again and steam until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Serve right away or keep warm over low heat for no longer than about 2 hours or the rice will harden and become inedible.

Steps:

• In a bowl wash rice well in several changes of cold water until water is clear. Soak rice in cold water to cover overnight.
• Drain rice well in a sieve. Set sieve over a large deep saucepan of simmering water (sieve should not touch water) and steam rice, covered with a kitchen towel and a lid, 30 to 40 minutes, or until tender (check water level in pan occasionally, adding more water if necessary).
• While rice is cooking, in a small saucepan bring 1 cup coconut milk to a boil with 1/3 cup sugar and salt, stirring until sugar is dissolved, and remove from heat. Keep mixture warm.
• Transfer cooked rice to a bowl and stir in coconut-milk mixture. Let rice stand, covered, 30 minutes, or until coconut-milk mixture is absorbed. Rice may be prepared up to this point 2 hours ahead and kept covered at room temperature.
• While rice is standing, in cleaned small pan slowly boil remaining 1/3 cup coconut milk with remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, stirring occasionally, 1 minute. Transfer sauce to a small bowl and chill until cool and thickened slightly.
• To serve, mold 1/4 cup servings of sticky rice on dessert plates. Drizzle desserts with sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Divide mango slices among plates.

Steps:

• Place your preferred amount of rice in the rice cooker and wash three times by filling pot with water and draining it off just until the rice is about to spill out of the pot.
• After washing, fill pot with water until the water reaches the first line of your middle finger when you stick your middle finger down and JUST touch the rice.
• Cook rice using cooker, which automatically shuts off or clicks to warm setting depending on your cooker.
• Your rice should be nice and sticky and soak up the great flavors of anything you are adding to it, and it should also be great by itself.
• *Note* Over-washing rice will give it a distinctive fishy flavor that is NOT good.
