How to choose delicious sticky rice
- To create a fragrant and chewy texture for sticky rice, you should choose yellow flower sticky rice – a type of sticky rice with plump, round, shiny, and evenly sized grains.
- When selecting sticky rice, you need to pay attention that good sticky rice will have round, plump yellow grains, and a slightly opaque white color. Especially, the grains should not have any black spots or yellow stains.
- New sticky rice, when smelled, will have a mild, slightly sweet fragrance that is very characteristic.
- Avoid choosing sticky rice that is white like flour, as this is likely old sticky rice that has been polished or sticky rice that has been polished, losing its nutrients.
How to choose ripe and delicious durian
- You should choose durians that have a strong, distinctive fragrance and those with slightly round spikes and evenly sized green spikes.
- Choose durians that, when held and shaken lightly, and when tapped with a stick, produce a “thump thump” sound; these are good fruits with thick and firm flesh.
- Do not choose durians that, when you press your fingernail into the stem, do not show any sap, as these are durians that have been soaked in chemicals.
With the simple steps above, TasteVN hopes that you will successfully make the 2 dishes durian sticky rice using a rice cooker. Let’s get cooking right away for the family to enjoy. Wishing you a good meal!
