Notes
- Don't skip the soaking: This step is crucial for achieving the right texture in sticky rice.
- It ensures that the rice grains are fully hydrated. You can soak the rice for a shorter period like 1-2 hours if you’re short on time, but the texture might not be as ideal. The rice may be slightly less sticky and cohesive.
- If soaking for less time, you might need to adjust the cooking time and keep an eye on the texture
- If you have a rice cooker, you can use it instead of the stovetop method. Just use the same rice-to-water ratio.
- Refrigerate any leftover rice in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
