Sticky Rice in a Rice Cooker
Description
The recipe provides instructions to rinse 416 grams of glutinous rice until the water runs clear, which removes excess starch and prevents overly gummy results. After draining, the rice is placed into the rice cooker with 488 grams of filtered water. Cooking on the normal rice cooker setting yields sticky rice with a soft, cohesive texture typical of glutinous rice.
Helping to fluff the rice with a paddle after cooking releases trapped steam and evaporates excess moisture for optimal stickiness without sogginess. Letting the cooked rice sit inside the cooker for about two minutes further improves the final texture.
Sticky rice prepared this way serves as a staple side dish or base for various Asian meals, particularly those from Southeast Asia. The simple water-to-rice ratio test mentioned in the notes confirms the recipe scales down well for smaller portions, though larger batches may need experimentation.
Nutritional values are indicated per two servings of this recipe. The step to rinse the rice thoroughly is essential to control stickiness, and using filtered water may improve flavor and purity.
Ingredients
- 416 g glutinous rice
- 488 g water filtered
- water for rinsing
Instructions
- Measure 416 g glutinous rice and place it into a strainer.
- Under running tap water, rinse the rice until the water runs clear.
- After straining, add rice into the cooking pot.
- Add the 488 g filtered water and make sure the rice is leveled.
- Plug in your rice cooker and close the lid. Follow your rice cooker’s instruction, or use the “normal” setting and press start.
- Once the rice is finished, open the lid and use the rice paddle to fluff up the rice to remove excess moisture and let it sit for an additional 2 minutes, then serve.
Notes
- The rice-to-water ratio has been tested for 1 to 2 cups of dry rice and works consistently.
- Scaling beyond 2 cups of dry rice may require adjustments, as larger amounts could affect cooking results.
- Nutritional information shared is based on 2 servings of cooked sticky rice.
