Glutinous Rice

Glutinous Sticky Rice is a type of rice that develops a distinctive soft and sticky texture after cooking. Despite its English name, glutinous rice is naturally gluten-free; the word “glutinous” refers to the glue-like, sticky texture of the cooked grains.

Sticky rice is widely used in Filipino and other Asian cuisines. In the Philippines, it is known as malagkit and is an essential ingredient in many traditional rice dishes and sweets. Popular examples include Biko, Suman, Bibingka, Palitaw, and Ginataang Bilo-Bilo. It can also be used to prepare Champorado, the popular Filipino chocolate rice porridge.

The rice can also be used in savory preparations. For example, it can be used to create a particularly thick and creamy version of Lugaw, Filipino rice porridge that can be prepared with ingredients such as ginger, garlic, and chicken. Sticky rice is also excellent for Asian desserts combined with coconut milk, mango, palm sugar, or other tropical ingredients.

Glutinous rice should not be confused with Japanese sushi rice, risotto rice, or paella rice. Although these varieties can also become somewhat sticky or creamy when cooked, they have different characteristics and culinary uses.
