Sticky rice, often referred to as glutinous rice, is a staple in Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly in countries like Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. This dish is made from short-grain rice that becomes sticky when cooked due to its high starch content. It is typically steamed and paired with savory dishes, sweet mango, or coconut milk for desserts. Sticky rice is naturally gluten-free and offers a source of energy through complex carbohydrates. However, it is lower in fiber compared to other whole-grain rice varieties. When combined with nutrient-rich accompaniments such as lean proteins, vegetables, or fresh fruits, it can contribute to a balanced meal. Though delicious, moderation is encouraged as sticky rice can be calorie-dense, especially when paired with sugary or rich sauces. Its satisfying texture and versatility make it a beloved dish across various traditional and modern recipes.
