How to cook it
-
Soak the glutinous rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Drain well and set the rice in a bamboo steamer basket lined with cheesecloth, or a regular steamer lined the same way.

Steam over boiling water until the grains are translucent and tender, about 20 minutes, flipping once halfway.
-
Turn out onto a plate and fluff.
-
Serve warm, pinching off portions by hand, the staple for a third of the country.
