Sticky rice, which is also called sweet rice or glutinous rice is a non-translucent, opaque milky colored round-grained rice. As there is very low amylose content present in the rice, it turns out sticky almost glue-love when cooked. Sticky rice is very popular in South East Asian countries and is used in sweet and delicious dishes.

You can find this rice in your nearby Asian stores or online. Many big grocery stores have this in their international aisle.

You must have seen sticky rice on the menu of most of the Asian restaurants and believe me, it tastes incredibly delicious with spicy Asian curries. It’s also a favorite at home, and everyone relishes it with the same joy. This rice has a slight sweet texture, that compliments the curries really well.

But often when we cook the sticky rice, it gets mushy, wet, gummy, or undercooked. The traditional method of cooking also requires you to soak it for 8-10 hours.

Cooking sticky rice to perfection can be tricky, but not when it’s cooked in an instant pot. So, follow the recipe to the T, and I am sure you will acquire that restaurant-style sticky rice at home in minutes in an instant pot.
