Sticky Rice in a rice cooker
I'm not sure about this one - but according to
About.com in the Thai food section, someone has posted a technique for cooking sticky rice in your rice cooker. And no, apparently you don't have to soak it over night. I haven't tried this technique yet but if you want to be the first let us know how it turns out.
Ingredients:
- SERVES 4
- 2 cups "sticky" or "glutinous" rice
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 tsp. salt
Preparation:
- Place 2 cups sweet rice in your rice cooker. Add 2+ 1/2 cups water and stir.
- Let the sweet rice stand for 30 minutes (or longer if you want - up to 4 hours).
- Add the salt and stir once more. Turn on your rice cooker.
- When your rice cooker switches off (after 15-20 minutes), let the rice sit at least five minutes extra.
- Enjoy your sticky rice!
Sticky Rice Tip: Sticky rice will become sticker the longer it sits.
