sticky white rice

Sticky white rice is soft, tender, chewy and slightly sweet with a shiny finish. Common uses include sushi and onigiri, rice bowls, mango sticky rice, rice pudding and other savory or dessert recipes.

Cooked sticky rice is typically tender, soft and sticky with a slightly sweet flavor and a chewy, glossy finish. It holds together well for sushi, bowls and dessert preparations.

You’ll find raw rice that requires full cooking, prepared heat-and-serve microwaveable bowls or sealed trays, and frozen ready packs.

Microwave-ready cups and bowls typically heat in about 80 seconds to under 2 minutes (some list 1 minute). Sealed trays may also include longer stovetop/boiling instructions—one example lists an 18-minute boiling method.

Labels include gluten-free or Certified Gluten-Free, Non-GMO Project Verified, vegetarian and vegan, and free-from notes such as tree nut-free, soy-free, peanut-free, wheat-free and dairy-free, plus claims like “No MSG added” and “No artificial flavors.”
