How To Make Sticky Rice Without A Rice Cooker

in #cooking7 years ago

Because I've had more than one person comment that I do it in a pot on the stove! LOL

Step one:
Wash rice in a colander.

Step two:
Put rice and 1 1/2 times that amount of water in an appropriate sized pot with a lid. Bring to a boil.

Step three: turn down heat and simmer until all the water is absorbed. This may take 15 minutes (me, just now, cooking about a half cup of rice), or a half an hour, if you are cooking a few cups. It may try and boil over on you a few times; I just lift the lid for a second and it goes down.

Step four: turn off heat and let it steam with the lid on for another ten minutes.

Yummy rice!

Be good, Steemit! Happy noshing!

I would love to make sticky rice but I thought it took a special kind of rice? I remember looking up recipes but thinking they were too complicated or I didn't have the right ingredients. But if it's plain old rice cooked like this, I can do that!

It's short grain white rice. :)

Ah hah - that's what I'm going to have to look for. I will save your instructions for when I find some!

Generally if you find something labeled "Jasmine rice" or "sushi rice," that's short grain, if it doesn't say.

After growing up with long grain rice and eating only that, I discovered Basmati rice and that's been my favorite for a while now. I've seen the Jasmine rice right next to it so I won't have to search very far! Thank you for the good advice!

Old fashion way. In Japan they steam it to make it in traditional way. Bon appetit!

It steams at the end ...they steam it the entire time? Like, in a steaming basket tray?

Rice is so good you can do almost anything to it. Yum

Even just plain it's good like this! :)

Nice! It's remarkably easy to make sticky rice. My Hooman learned how from a Korean girlfriend when he was in college. No need for a rice cooker.

=^..^=

Nice! And I am one human, so it's not like I eat a lot of it to justify needing a whole appliance just to make small amounts occasionally. If I had a large family and we ate it all the time, maybe!
