Brilio.net - Sticky rice has a sticky and chewy texture. This type of rice is often used in various traditional and modern dishes. From fresh and sweet mango sticky rice to savory and filling lemper, sticky rice presents a unique deliciousness that is hard to resist. However, behind this deliciousness, the process of processing sticky rice requires patience and the right technique to get perfect results.
Processing sticky rice is not as easy as cooking regular rice . The process involves repeated washing until clean, soaking for several hours, and steaming for a long time to achieve the desired texture. Steaming sticky rice can take up to 40 minutes or more, depending on the amount and type of dish you want to make. This diligence often makes many people reluctant to process it themselves at home.
In fact, if you know the trick, you can make sticky rice that is more practical and faster, you know. A YouTube user Khanza Ahmad Official once shared the trick through one of the uploaded videos. With this trick, the steaming process only takes 10-15 minutes.
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Khanza Ahmad Official on Wednesday (2/10), the first thing to do is prepare 1 kg of sticky rice. Wash and soak the sticky rice for 1-2 hours to make it softer. After that, wash and drain.

Next, put the sticky rice into the pan. Then add 3 knotted pandan leaves, clean water (adjust the amount according to the rice), and 1 sachet of instant coconut milk. Stir and cook the sticky rice.
"While cooking sticky rice, you have to keep stirring it, okay? So that nothing burns on the bottom," said YouTube Khanza Ahmad Official.

When all the ingredients are well mixed, add 1 tsp of fine salt. Then stir again until the coconut milk boils and the water reduces. When the water has reduced, turn off the stove.

Then transfer the sticky rice into a steamer pan. Then steam until completely cooked. In the video, YouTube user Khanza Ahmad Official admitted to steaming the sticky rice for about 10-15 minutes. While steaming, stir it gradually. If the sticky rice is no longer sticky, it means it is cooked into rice and ready to be removed. Well, this sticky rice can be served immediately.
