Sticky rice, also known as glutinous rice, is a staple of Asian cuisine. From the bustling street markets of Thailand to family gatherings in Laos, sticky rice is more than just a food—it's a culture.

Why sticky rice is so special

• Thanks to its sticky consistency, it is easy to eat with your hands
• Goes wonderfully with sweet and savory dishes
• Indispensable in many Southeast Asian traditions and festivals

This rice is unique due to its high amylopectin content , which gives it its typical chewy texture. Unlike other rice varieties, glutinous rice clumps together when cooked—perfect for scooping up grilled meat, vegetables, or spicy sauces.

Perfect consistency for traditional dishes

Sticky rice is a popular ingredient in popular dishes such as:

• Mango sticky rice – A sweet Thai dessert
• Laotian sticky rice with Jeow Bong – A spicy dip
• Chinese Zongzi – sticky rice dumplings in bamboo leaves

It's not just about the texture, but about the experience of eating and sharing with family and friends.

Harmonious taste profile

Despite its subtle flavor, sticky rice has a rich, earthy undertone that absorbs and enhances the essence of the side dish.

Whether dipped in fermented fish sauce or served with coconut milk, sticky rice acts as a blank canvas for bold flavors .

The soul of food

If jasmine rice defines the fragrance of a meal, then sticky rice is its soul —it holds people together, just like the people who share it.
