What is Glutinous Rice?

This recipe incorporates a hearty portion of glutinous rice, but what exactly is this? Also known as sticky or sweet rice, glutinous rice has a recognisable sticky texture, offering a more succulent experience than other kinds of white rice. You’ll find this rice cropping up in both sweet and savoury Chinese dishes as well as being incorporated into numerous recipes from countries across east Asia.

Glutinous rice is usually soaked in water and then cooked in a steamer to ensure you achieve that classic sticky texture. However, it can also be boiled in water as you might normally cook rice or prepared in a rice cooker for a more convenient option.
