Steamed glutinous rice?

Wash the glutinous rice and soak it in water for three to five hours.

It is enough for the glutinous rice to swell, and the water for soaking glutinous rice can be kept.

Prepare a flat-bottomed container, spread out the glutinous rice, and pour the water soaked in rice just on the glutinous rice. Too much water will soften glutinous rice.

Seeing the reaction of many kitchen friends, the water is soft when the glutinous rice is not steamed. Yes, I prefer soft glutinous rice, so I will steam it with water. In addition, because this kind of rice has not been soaked for a long time, steaming with water can also make glutinous rice softer.

If you like hard things, you don't need to add so much water to steam them, just add a little water to half the height of glutinous rice. As long as there is water at the bottom.

There is also a kind of glutinous rice soaked for one night, drained and steamed the next day, which is very chewy.

But I don't advise you to eat too much chewy food, which is not very friendly to temporomandibular joint. The most direct feeling is that the cheeks are very tired. I pay special attention to this aspect because I have had joint disorders. Try to eat less chewy or hard food.

Start steaming in cold water for more than half an hour to less than an hour.
