sticky rice
Chewy Asian staple
Sticky rice is a variety of rice that becomes glutinous and clumps together when cooked, rather than separating into distinct grains.
It's a staple in Southeast Asian and East Asian cuisines, often eaten with the hands or used in dishes like mango sticky rice and rice dumplings.
Also called glutinous rice or sweet rice, though it contains no gluten and isn't necessarily sweet.
