Equipment

  • Steamer

Ingredients

  • 1 portion sticky rice

Instructions

  • Set up your steamer and bring the water to a simmer.
  • Add the rice to the steamer, breaking up any clumps, to make a thin layer.
  • Cover and steam for 5 minutes.

Notes

I always keep my water at a simmer rather than a boil because I think boiling water can be too harsh and may overcook the rice. 
With simmering water, all you’re doing is warming - not cooking.
