Why does rice turn sticky?
Answer
Rinse rice until the water is clear (removes excess starch). Ratio: 1:1.5-2 (rice:water) for fluffy rice. After boiling — minimal heat, cover, do not stir. Turn off 5 minutes before done, let it rest. For Basmati: soak for 30 min. Do not overcook. Sushi rice MUST be sticky — it’s a different variety.
