You need to soak rice in advance.

glutinous rice has a high crude fiber content and is not as easy to cook as rice. Therefore, it is generally necessary to soak glutinous rice one night in advance to cook glutinous rice, so that it is easy to cook and tastes softer and more glutinous. If the rice is soaked in advance, it can be boiled for about 25 minutes. If it is not soaked, it needs to be boiled for 3 minutes, and then stewed for 1 minutes.

The reason why glutinous rice should be soaked in advance is to make the glutinous rice absorb enough water, so that the essence of glutinous rice will seep out after swelling, and the cooked glutinous rice is sweet and soft, and it is likely to be raw rice if cooked directly.

Cooking glutinous rice is the same as cooking rice:

Cooking glutinous rice is the same as ordinary rice. Adding water is about one knuckle higher than the height of rice, and cooking it in an electric cooker is the same as ordinary rice. The only difference is that it needs to be soaked in advance, so the cooked rice is fragrant, and putting two red dates when cooking glutinous rice is more fragrant.
