About Sticky Rice (Glutinous)
Glutinous rice contains no gluten — "glutinous" describes its gluey amylopectin. The method is entirely different: long soak, then steam (never boil — it dissolves). Mango sticky rice, Lao khao niao, zongzi, and mochi all live here. The bamboo steamer basket is traditional and genuinely better than improvised setups; the rice reheats by re-steaming, never microwaving dry.
