Looking to add something exotic and delicious to your culinary repertoire? Sticky rice is the answer. This type of rice doesn't just complement a dish—it enhances it.

Why chefs love sticky rice

• Simple ingredients for complex results
• Adaptable to different cooking styles
• Suitable for every meal

It is an excellent introduction for anyone who wants to discover Asian cuisine, especially Thai, Laotian and Vietnamese dishes.

Traditional preparation methods

Sticky rice can be prepared in different ways:

• Soaking and steaming – the most traditional method
• With the rice cooker – for easy preparation and even consistency
• Wrapped in banana leaves – for more aroma and an attractive presentation

Whichever preparation method you choose, remember to soak the rice for at least 4–6 hours before cooking. This important step ensures your sticky rice will be soft and lumpy—just as it should be.

Versatile applications

Sticky rice isn't just a side dish. Here are some great ideas:

• Sticky rice balls with coconut and sesame
• Sticky rice cakes for Chinese New Year
• Stuffed peppers with sticky rice and minced pork

The possibilities are endless – creativity meets tradition in every sticky rice dish.

Sticky rice = infinite potential

With sticky rice in your pantry, you can try everything from traditional Laotian dishes to modern Asian fusion dishes. It's a versatile base with unlimited potential.
