Sticky Rice

While rice isn’t spectacular, it is the foundation for several of our favorite dinners, one that I will be sharing later this week. It might be shocking but rice has given me fits over the years. I mean, the directions are on the bag, how hard can it be? Well after lots of nights with dry or hard rice I knew needed a new recipe. But there were a few rules, it needed to be sticky and fast.

This sticky rice lays the perfect foundation for the recipe I’m going to be sharing later this week. Think Chipotle meets Hibachi. Interested yet?
