Now, I guess there's no right way to make sticky rice, because I'm sure more than one person has reached perfection. But I'm curious to know the methods other people swear by.
Do you use a rice cooker? steamer? or a pot? Do you use "sticky rice"? Calrose? Long grain or short grain? Do you measure the water by 2-to-1 ratio, or do you use the finger method? Do you always wash the rice till the water runs clear? Do you cook it for 20 minutes or 30 minutes?
To be fair, I'll go first. My dad always used a rice cooker and the finger method. He always washed the rice first. We don't have a rice cooker, so I use a pot. I used to measure with the finger method, but since I use different sized pots all the time, I measure 2-to-1 now. Sometimes I wash the rice, sometimes I don't--it depends on if I'm in the mood or not. And I buy a local Louisiana brand long grain. I cook 20 minutes, and my rice is consistently sticky.
I figure I could improve my methods, so that's why I'm asking you!
