sticky asian rice

Sticky rice is described as soft, tender, and chewy with a slightly sweet note. It’s commonly used for sushi, poke and rice bowls, and desserts such as mango sticky rice and rice pudding.

Heating times vary by format: microwavable trays ~80 seconds; microwavable bowls under 2 minutes; microwave cups about 1 minute; boil-in-bag (unopened) about 18 minutes in boiling water.

Dry sticky rice often comes in resealable bags, while instant or single-serve options are sealed in food-grade trays or cups to preserve freshness.

Single trays are commonly about 6.3 oz (180 g), microwavable bowls around 7.4 oz, and some ready packs are 8.8 oz (often sold as two cups per pack). Products are also offered in multi-tray or multi-pack formats.
