Microwave Sticky Rice Recipe

Glutinous Rice

Fresh Drinking Water

Place sticky rice in a large bowl and cover with fresh water. Agitate with your fingers swirling the rice around and watch the water go cloudy. Drain out the cloudy water, refill with fresh water, agitate again and drain.

Repeat the drain, refill, wiggle around steps until the water is reasonably clear.

Washing the Sticky Rice

Place the washed sticky rice in a heatproof &amp; microwave-safe bowl and cover with boiling water - just enough water to cover.

Leave to soak for 15 minutes.

Soaking the Sticky Rice

Place your heatproof, microwave-safe bowl with the rice and enough drinking water to be level with the top of the rice, into an 850W microwave.

Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid to restrict steam escaping but not to seal it entirely otherwise pressure will build up in the container which is bad.

Microwave on full power for 7 minutes non-stop.

Remove bowl from microwave whilst wearing protectors as the bowl will be very hot as will the steam escaping from around the lid.

Carefully remove the lid by tilting it so that the opening edge faces away from you to avoid the steam rising into your face.

Using a fork, fluff up and mix the rice together thoroughly and replace the lid.

Put the covered bowl and rice back into the microwave and wave at full power for another 3 minutes.

Microwaving the Sticky Rice

Remove the bowl from the microwave and take off the lid in the same way as before. Tip the rice out onto a clean, flat surface and spread out to allow the steam to escape.

Gather the rice together loosely with your fingers as soon as the rice has cooled just enough to handle and place into your serving bowl or individual sticky rice baskets and serve.
