Notes
Don't skip the soaking: This step is crucial for achieving the right texture in sticky rice.
It ensures that the rice grains are fully hydrated. You can soak the rice for a shorter period like 1-2 hours if you’re short on time, but the texture might not be as ideal. The rice may be slightly less sticky and cohesive.
If soaking for less time, you might need to adjust the cooking time and keep an eye on the texture
If you have a rice cooker, you can use it instead of the stovetop method. Just use the same rice-to-water ratio.
Refrigerate any leftover rice in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
