FAQs
1. Can I use other types of rice besides sticky and brown rice?
While this recipe is specifically designed for sticky and brown rice, you can experiment with other short-grain rice varieties for the sticky component. However, the cooking time and liquid ratio might need adjustments.
2. What happens if I use too much or too little water?
Too much water will result in mushy rice, while too little will leave it dry and undercooked. Follow the recipe's water-to-rice ratio carefully for best results.
3. Can I make this recipe in advance?
Yes! Cook the rice as directed, then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving.
