Equipment

  • hand towel or cheese cloth
  • Bamboo Steamer
  • Mixing bowl
  • pot/pan

Ingredients
  

  • 208 g glutinous sticky rice
  • 6 c water plus more for steamer

Instructions
 

  • A mixing bowl mix the glutinous rice with water. Cover the bowl with a lid or towel and allow to it sit for at the minimum 8 hours..
  • In a saucepan of water on medium-high heat, place the steamer, and then line it with cheesecloth. The steamer should be heated for approximately two minutes, or till you begin seeing steam rise up above the steamer.
  • Then, drain the water out of the rice that is soaked.
  • Incorporate rice into the preheated steamer that is lined with cheesecloth, and distribute it all over.
  • Cover with lid and let it steam for about 17-18 minutes. Be sure to include water in the pot during the process of steaming to ensure that the pot isn't depleted of water.
  • Take the lid off and test your rice's texture. it is supposed to be soft, plump and chewy. The rice shouldn't be too hard or mushy. If the texture is not soft for you then you can shut the lid and let it cook for another two minutes before checking the texture once more. Cook until it has reached the desired final texture since it will cease to cook after you have removed it from the stove.
  • Serve immediately
