Thai Sticky Rice, 1.1 kg · Kabalen

Malagkit Glutinous Rice is a sticky rice suitable for dishes where a soft, cohesive, and slightly chewy texture is desired. Unlike regular rice, which turns out grainy and separate, this rice sticks together after cooking and forms a great base for Thai, Filipino, and other Asian dishes.

It is especially suitable for desserts like Mango Sticky Rice, sticky rice with coconut milk, sweet rice balls, steamed rice cakes, and festive dishes. In savory cuisine, it can be served alongside grilled chicken, seasoned meats, stir-fried vegetables, spicy sauces, and dishes in the style of Northern Thailand.

Tips

It is recommended to soak the rice in water before cooking, usually for a few hours or overnight, to achieve a more uniform and softer texture.
To prepare Mango Sticky Rice, cook or steam the rice and add coconut milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt.
For savory sticky rice, serve alongside grilled chicken, sweet chili sauce, stir-fried vegetables, or curry dishes.
The rice is especially suitable for steaming, but can also be prepared in a pot with a precise amount of water.
Store in a dry, cool, and tightly sealed place after opening.
