Cooking tips

  • Always use lukewarm water when soaking glutinous rice—cold water may result in undercooked rice.
  • Before slicing the cooled rice, lightly brush the knife blade with sesame oil to prevent sticking and ensure clean cuts.
  • Store the finished quick rice wrapped individually in plastic wrap to prevent drying out. For longer storage, freeze it.

Recommended for

  • People who want to make quick rice easily without the complicated traditional steaming process.
  • Those preparing a simple homemade treat for holidays or special occasions.
  • Anyone wanting to enjoy chewy, sweet rice desserts successfully using just a microwave.
