Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked glutinous or sweet rice

Directions

  1. Rinse rice under cold water until the liquid is no longer milky-colored. Add rice to a small bowl. Cover the rice with two inches of cold water and let it soak for 8 hours or overnight.
  2. Line a bamboo steamer with cheesecloth over a saucepan of simmering water.
  3. Drain the rice and place in the cheesecloth. Fold over cheesecloth edges to seal. Replace bamboo steamer lid; cook for 15 minutes. Carefully, using a large spatula, flip cheesecloth bundle over, or stir so the bottom layer of rice is on top and vice versa. Cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the rice is tender and glossy.
