Delicious and Fluffy Rice Cooker Sticky Rice
Method 1: Cooking Sticky Rice Without Soaking
After rinsing the sticky rice, add it to the cooker with salt and boiling water. Only add just enough water to cover the rice by about half a centimeter.
When the cooker switches from cooking to warming mode, the water will have evaporated. At this point, open the lid and gently fluff the rice.
Then, close the lid again and wait for 5-7 minutes before opening it once more. Your sticky rice should now be ready to serve!

Method 2: Cooking Sticky Rice with Soaked Rice
If you prefer to soak your rice, do so for 3-4 hours after rinsing. Before soaking, ensure the rice is drained, then add it to the cooker with salt.
When the cooker switches to warming mode, open the lid and place a damp cloth over the pot. This will help the rice cook evenly with steam.
You can also mix in a little cooking oil or lard to prevent the rice from burning and add extra flavor.

Method 3: Cooking Sticky Rice with Abundant Water
For this method, add the rice and water to the cooker and turn it on as you would for cooking regular rice. When the water boils, drain it, leaving the rice to dry.
