Description
Sticky rice, also known as glutinous rice or sweet rice, is a type of rice with a sticky and chewy texture. It is a staple in many Southeast Asian cuisines, particularly in dishes such as Thai sticky rice and sticky rice desserts. Despite its name, sticky rice is not sweet, but it gets its stickiness from its high amylopectin starch content. It is typically steamed or cooked using special methods to achieve its desired texture. Sticky rice is versatile and can be used in both savory and sweet recipes, providing a unique eating experience.
