Product Highlights • Authentic Thai Glutinous Rice: Naturally contains a high amount of amylopectin starch, which gives it its distinctively sticky texture when cooked. • Naturally Gluten-Free: Despite being named "glutinous" due to its glue-like stickiness, it is 100% gluten-free. • Multifunctional Ingredient: A staple for popular Southeast Asian culinary creations, from authentic mango sticky rice desserts to savory rice balls, dumplings, and sides for grilled meats Preparing & Cooking Sticky Rice To get the most out of your sweet rice, it shouldn't be cooked like standard white rice. For a flawless result, follow the traditional soak-and-steam technique: 1. Rinse: Wash the rice 3 to 4 times in cold water to strip away excess surface starch and prevent it from getting too gummy. 2. Soak: Submerge the rice completely in cold water and let it soak for at least 3 to 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the grains to expand. 3. Steam: Drain the water well. Place the rice inside a bamboo steamer cone or a standard colander/steaming rack lined with a damp cheesecloth or muslin towel. Cover and steam over rapidly boiling water for 20 to 25 minutes until the grains are translucent, plump, and tender
