Easy Sticky Rice

"This is a easy & perfect sticky rice. I've made it several times & have not had a failure yet. It comes from stephskitchen.com (a great recipe site). I cannot enter that you can use either short or medium grain rice, either one is okay. Do not use long grain."

Questions & Replies

  1. Could I use this technique for mochi?
     
  2. If I want to add in a little bit of finely diced fruit to upgrade the flavor, anybody have any suggestions on what fruit to use?
     
  3. If you double the recipe for more than 6 servings how do you measure that? Also, I would be using long grain because that's all I have right. Need this early as I have been invited to a shish-kabob dinner and I offered to bring rice. Please respond soon.

  1. This is by far the best rice I've made for stir fry or even other dishes. THANK YOU!
     
  2. any medium-grain rice will do? Do I not need Thai sticky rice?
     
  3. Geeze, that was easy! Came out perfect. My little lady always wants sticky rice when I get sushi. Now I can make it whenever. All I had was long grain rice, but it worked just as well. Will grab a medium grain bag next go around. Thanks!
     
  4. If i were double this is cook time the same ???
     
  5. Here, in Hawaii, sticky rice is served with all meals. We all have rice cookers. Using rice measuring cup, or 2/3 C, measure rice and put in pot. Cover with water and let set for 20 mins. Rinse well X 3. Using same measurement cup, add equal amounts water and then top with about 1/4 C more water. Put pot into rice cooker and steam until done. Always use medium grain rice. For a normal family serving use about 3 C rice and 3 1/4 C water. The only topping used, if any, is nori (dried seaweed mix).
