Making jasmine rice sticky is an adequate substitute for glutinous, or sticky, rice.
Jasmine rice, also called Thai fragrant rice, is a long-grained variety of Southeast Asian rice. Known for its non-sticky qualities when compared to other Thai rices, it has a nutty aroma and slightly sweet flavor. It is widely available in North American stores and has been a popular rice to serve with almost any meal. However, while it cannot fully replace other hard-to-find Asian sticky rices in certain meals, certain methods can be applied to its preparation to make it more sticky.
