Perfect Asian sticky rice every time! This Thermomix recipe guarantees success with a "no-hands" approach to cooking!

I have just launched "An Asian Banquet" Thermomix cookbook. Rather than take up valuable pages in the book explaining how to make the perfect rice accompaniment to those dishes I decided I would share the recipe online. That way I could add another main meal or dessert to the cookbook.

So it took me a little while to perfect sticky rice in the Thermomix but now that I have I'm sharing my tips and technique with everyone.

How to Make the Perfect Asian Sticky Rice

  1. Chose the correct rice. Sticky rice is a different type of grain to other styles of rice. It's long-grain, glutinous rice. An example to look out for is Jasmine rice. If you can't find Jasmine rice look for any rice which is described as glutenous white rice.
  2. Wash the rice under running water for 1 to 2 minutes whilst stirring the rice gently with fingers. This allows the excess starch to be removed so the end result doesn’t become too gluey. It's not necessary for the water to run clear.
  3. Allow the rice to sit in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes prior to steaming.
  4. The rice should be steamed more than boiled.

If you enjoy Asian recipes why not take a look at "An Asian Banquet"  This Thermomix cookbook contains 33 recipes from 8 Asian countries.

    Hi Julie, thanks for your recipe.
    I still only have the TM 21. What do you think, should I use the normal instructions for cooking rice with it, only add the soaking, and the Varoma level?
    Btw, what is the difference between cooking with the top heat (100° Celsius) and the Varoma level?
    Thank you for any answer

      Hi Sonja
      It is so lovely to have a German reader and a TM21 user too!! Very special!! I have never used the TM21 so I don't know what the top temperature is for that machine. I would just stick with your usual method but add the sticky rice ingredients where it seems to make sense. I hop that helps. I have only seen pictures of the TM21 so I know I am not much help to you. I'm sorry.
      Happy Cooking
      Julie

    Do you leave the measuring cup in or out

      Hi Sam
      It works fine either way but I tend to leave it in so there aren't any splatters.
      Happy Cooking
