How to make Chinese sticky rice at home

Sticky Rice is also known as sweet rice or commonly known to us as Glutinous Rice. Since Singapore is in the circuit breaker phase due to the COVID-19 situation, and the number of cases doesn't seem to falter anytime soon. The amount of time spent at home leaps by bounds and cooking at home seems to be feasible solution now! Why not cook this super popular Chinese dim sum dish? This dish is not only delicious but easy to make too. 

If you don't want to steam it, fret not as you can make it using a rice cooker as well. Just let the rice soak in water in the rice cooker for at least 4 hours before turning it on. Use 2 1/2 cups of water for 2 cups for rice for this. 

The sticky rice will become stickier if it is soaked in the water for a longer period so soak as you deem fit. haha
