C/w Nana: Cooking Sticky Rice with an Electric Rice Cooker

In this video I show to to cook sticky rice using a Zojirushi rice cooker.
Traditional Lao way to cook sticky rice is to use steamer basket (huat) to steam the rice which had been soaked in water for 2 hours to overnight. Using this rice cooker method, the rice does not need to be soaked first.
Note: This is only ideal for cooking small amounts of rice if you intend to eat the rice the Lao way (roll into balls with your hands to eat with other food). If you cook too much rice in this cooker, the rice will be wetter and stickier, harder to eat with your hands. If you intend to use it for making desserts like sticky rice mango, cooking larger amounts is ok.

I have the Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy 10-cup. Been using it regularly for 15 years with no problems! It makes delicious sticky rice. I think just as good as the steamed kind! Thank you for the helpful video. Tonight I will make Vietnamese Sticky Rice with Chinese Sausage. yum.

I was on the fence about ordering the Zojirushi for various reasons, but after seeing how amazing 😃 that sticky rice came out I'm gonna go order it now. I can't wait to make and eat some. Thanks!

Never Fail. No need to worry how much water is needed. I been cooking sticky rice more than I can count using rice cooker. Follow my simple step below. 100% your sticky rice will come out right, every time, all the time. I used the rice cooker steamer basket to cook sticky rice. The steamer basket should included with the rice cooker. 1. Always soak the rice between 8 to 24 hours before cooking. The longer the rice are soaked, the softer it become after cooking (No exception). 2. Find a WHITE clean cloth and place into the steamer basket to prevent the rice falling down the holes. Note: Best to use lient free 100% cotton material T-Shirt or 80% cotton men dress shirt. Cut cloth between 120% to 130% oversize of the steamer basket. Before use cloth, wash cloth with water and salt (do not use deterget). Cloth is Re-useable: wash, hang dry and save cloth after used. 3. Add water to the 1st line level of the rice pot and place the steamer basket inside the rice pot. 4. Wash the rice until water is clear. Place rice into the steamer basket evenly on top of the white cloth. 5. Use any finger and make 5 to 8 holes into the rice to help the steam flow. 6. Put rice pot into the rice cooker and close the lid. 7. Select Steam. If your rice cooker doen't have steam option, use white rice or brown rice selection. After 15 to 25 minutes, open lid to check rice. Rice should 80% cooked at this point. 8. To make sure rice cook evenly. Stire the rice, moving the bottom potion to the top to help cook evenly. Steam for another 10 to 20 minutes or until soft to your liking. Please press Thump Up if you like my concept.

[@CookingwithNana]

Thanks for taking the time to write all that instruction. The main advantage of the method in my video is you don't have to soak the raw rice.

[@Shuggies]

Thank you for this 😊

[@Shuggies]

​@CookingwithNana I have a Zojirushi rice cooker. Looks alot like this one.. nut no steeameer setting. Thank yu both for sharing your methods ❤❤😊

[@icecoldbeauty]

I missed eating sticky rice! This helped!!! Thank you so much!!

[@tofu860ify]

NANA is back!!!! SAI BAI DEE!

[@pattyxomvilaysack3825]

Hi... I made sticky rice with this machine. I found it to be too soggy if you add the suggested amount of water, so I reduced the amount of water to go just slightly above the rice and it came out Perfrct!! Not too sticky or soft..

[@jamieward1871]

I had the same result. Next time I'll add a bit less water. Making sweet rice in the Zojirushi rice cooker is so much easier than using the steamer basket.

[@Shuggies]

I'm wondering if you used the Sticky Rice setting ?? I have not made yet but I bought a 50lb bag of sticky rice for 33$. It was just too cheap not to get it so here I am finding out how to make it. Lol.. I have this Zojirushi cooker. 😊👌

[@LaMaiStyle]

I love sticky rice. I used to eat it almost everyday but I cut back because it’s now about $17 for a 5 pound bag. My Thai family grows it in Thailand

[@CookingwithNana]

My husband's side of the family in Mukdahan Thailand grows sticky rice too.

[@Shuggies]

I actually found a 50lb bag of sticky rice for 33$ I just couldn't leave it.. and I only have a home of 3.. lol. It will last a couple years.. honestly I wish I had gotten 2 bags at that price. It never goes bad.

[@Object526]

[@teampakstv]

we make sticky rice also and so nice to have some ideas on this could be made in different style

[@minimala2253]

Hi nana I have slow cooker I I use it?

[@changrey1116]

Hi nana!

[@AmyNyan00]

Mam , how long the cooking can be done? Thank you 🙏🏼

[@maikiaxiong2583]

Hi Nana could you please show us how to use your home made padek sauce?

[@CookingwithNana]

See my papaya salad video.

[@sophielaurenti8846]

Your sticky rice turned out better than my mom's. She keeps insisting that's its better than cooking it in the traditional way. It's not. Her's is always too sticky or too mushy.

[@CookingwithNana]

I agree, traditional way is better. This way is good for cooking small amount of rice. I usually don't cook more than 2 cups. You could also try using less water to make it less mushy. But for large party, I would definitely use the traditional way.

[@waynewalkerorg]

whats' that fuzzy brown stuff!? I used to eat as a kid!

[@lilycool2601]

Thank you Nana for this simple method of cooking sticky rice. Nana can you cook sweet glutinous rice with peanuts. Not mango sticky rice.

[@CookingwithNana]

I have cooked red beans with sticky (sweet glutinous) rice for dessert, but not with peanuts.

[@lpdzzlfshzzl]

Nexerseen it cook like that in my life crazy

[@chana7141]

Can you white rice button if you don't have a sweet option?

[@christinerussell3721]

Nana where did you purchase your Rice cooker?

[@Sabrinasee02]

I want to purchase one like the one she has too.

[@CookingwithNana]

It's a Zojirushi model NS-WAC10. You can find it at Target and other retailers. It was on sale for 20% off at Target last week.

[@Sabrinasee02]

@@CookingwithNana Ty 🥰❤️

[@LT-rt4ly]

Nana! Have been watching you since I was a teen, please get on tik tok and make an announcement ❤

[@teeastarr5704]

My zojirushi doesn’t have a sweet button. What other timing options can I use? Please help. Tia

[@CookingwithNana]

You can use other settings too but you have to try different water ratio. When I didn't have the Zojirushi, I used regular Tiger cooker and used less water to cook sticky rice.

[@tarinagaudi642]

Thank you so much! My bamboo steamer became moldy after 1 use💔

[@lathaphonedetvongsa3471]

Hi nana I have slow cooker can I use it instead?

[@CookingwithNana]

I have tried with other brand of rice cooker, but have not tried slow cooker. I don't know if that will work.

[@christinerussell3721]

Is there a certain kind of 🍚 rice you need to get to make sticky rice??

[@CookingwithNana]

In Lao "khao niow" translates to "sticky rice." But in the markets the rice will be labeled as sweet rice or glutinous rice. There are different varieties and brands, but you have to look for sweet or glutinous rice on the label.

[@TheLoeungs]

CAN'T BEAT IT!! RICE IS LIFE!!! SA-TOO 🙏🙏🙏😃

[@sourivongkhemphet5252]

👍👍👍🙏❤💐

[@tjantree10]

I cook this 10 years ago

[@mariacristinaumbac2731]

Then what if the rice cooker has no setting for sticky rice?

[@CookingwithNana]

You can experiment with a basic rice cooker using 2/3 cup of water for each cup of raw sticky rice. That's what I used to do when I didn't have this new one.

[@johumm1]

How ya been!

[@livingwithplants6043]

I need that rice cooker. Where did you purchase it?

[@CookingwithNana]

This one was from Target but other places have it too.

[@Vanessaphengs]

Dang my rice cooker doesn’t have the Sweet option 😢

[@CookingwithNana]

My old rice cooker had just 1 setting. I sometimes used it to cook sticky rice. Just have to use less water.
