Glutinous or sweet rice is the best option for achieving the desired sticky texture. This type of rice has a higher starch content compared to other varieties, which gives it that sticky consistency. Other, such as jasmine rice, will not yield the same results.

To make perfect sticky rice, rinse the rice in a fine mesh strainer and soak it in water for 30 minutes. Drain the rice and add it to your rice cooker along with 1 cup of water per cup of uncooked Riceyan important note: Do not stir! Cook on high until boiling, then reduce heat to low and let cook covered for 18 minutes.
