how do you make that white sticky rice they give you at chinese restaurants?

Special rice. EDIT: That's how my sister makes it anyway. I don't know what kind exactly, but the package she has says "Calrose" in big red letters...
 
there are many different types of rice. some are more sticky than others. don't know any brand names though cuz we don't like the sticky kind.
 
Calrose rice is medium-grain rice. It?s also often called short-grain rice. When cooked or steamed, the grains plump up and cling together. It is best suited for recipes like sushi where it can be moulded.

Sounds about right to me.

I've used that stuff also. Good rice! :thumbsup:

I just boil 2 cups water and add 1 cup of rice to it. Cover it and simmer for about 20 minutes and you have yummy sticky rice.
 
Rice cooker is the easiest way. Any rice will be sticky if you add enough water, but the most popular kind is just the short grained. Long grained is usually cooked drier.
 
it all depends on the kind of rice you use and how much water. Get the shorter grain, they're smaller and fatter and add a bit more water than you would normally and voila, sticky rice.
 
You have to mix the rice briskly when they are soft so that you break the rice up and they start to clump up together. And don't put in butter while cooking it

Alot of rice recipes call for putting butter in the water that you cook it in.

This recipe kind of contradicts itself...it IS a cooking method, though certain types of rice are called for as well.




That's just one recipe...there are some Thai recipes that are a bit quicker.
