UNKNOWNCHEF86'S SUPER EASY STICKY RICE
I've had numerous requests for this method of cooking plain rice. I've never seen it anywhere else. It's been the only way I cook plain rice since I first tried it. And it's so simple to make! My pastor went nuts over it, wanting to know if he could get the recipe. He said it reminded him of the sticky rice that is served in many oriental restaurants. It's comes out steamed, rather than boiled. Cooking time includes soak time for the rice; rice cookers will vary in cooking time.

Steps:
- Rinse the rice til water runs[mostly] clear.
- Drain, then add 3 cups cold water to the rice.
- Add salt to taste.
- Put the pan in the rice-cooker, but DON'T plug it in as some rice cookers have a"keep warm" feature when it's plugged in (I know mine does).
- Let sit for 1/2 hour to soak.
- Plug in and cook as normal.
- This recipe can be reduced or increased as your rice cooker or needs allow, simply make sure that the soaking water and the rice are in equal measure.

There are many recipes for sticky rice here, but his one is easy and doesn't require fancy equipment. From Cracking the Coconut, an award winning Thai cookbook by Su-Mei Yu, owner of my favorite Thai restaurant in San Diego. Yield is dependent on how much rice you make.

Steps:
- Rinse the amount of rice you're using three times, then fill a bowl with cool water and let the rice soak overnight. It takes 5-6 hours for the rice to fully expand and soften.
- TIP: a good shortcut is to soak the rice in very warm water. When the water is cool, the rice will be soft. The water will turn murky and the rice grains slightly slimy, rinse once more in cool water. It might not be as soft and sticky as rice that has been soaked overnight, but it will do the job.
- Test to see if the rice is ready by pressing a grain lightly with your fingernails. If it breaks easily, it's ready.
- Line the steamer basket insert of a pasta pot with fresh corn husks or soaked dried corn husks (easy to find in Hispanic markets). Spray the husks with oil to prevent the rice from sticking, then spread the soaked rice evenly over the husks.
- Fill the pot with water to just under the steamer basket insert. Put the steamer insert into the pot, cover and bring to a boil over medium high heat.
- Steam the rice for at least 20 minutes, or longer.
- Transfer the rice to a serving bowl when ready to serve. Cover the rice with some corn husks to keep it moist and warm.
Tips:
- Use glutinous rice: Also known as sticky rice, this short-grain variety is essential for achieving the desired sticky texture.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly: This removes excess starch and helps prevent clumping.
- Soak the rice: Soaking helps the rice absorb water and cook more evenly. For best results, soak for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Use the right amount of water: The water-to-rice ratio is crucial for achieving the perfect sticky texture. As a general rule, use 1 cup of water for every 1 cup of rice.
- Cook the rice over low heat: This helps prevent the rice from sticking to the pot and burning.
- Stir the rice gently: Avoid stirring the rice too often, as this can break the grains and make the rice mushy.
- Let the rice rest before serving: After cooking, let the rice rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the rice to absorb any remaining moisture and become even stickier.
Conclusion:
Sticky rice is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you're serving it as a side dish, a main course, or a dessert, these tips will help you achieve the perfect sticky texture every time. So next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying meal, give sticky rice a try!
