Sticky Rice 270g

If you've ever tried to make sushi, dumplings, or Chinese sticky rice desserts at home and it just didn't come together — the rice was the problem. Tayyib Chinese Sticky Rice is the genuine article, the short-grain glutinous rice used across East and Southeast Asian cooking for centuries, now available in Lahore. Get the texture right. Get the dish right.

What's in it

• 100% glutinous sticky rice — the authentic variety used in Chinese and Asian cooking
• Naturally high in starch — gives dishes their signature sticky, chewy texture
• No additives · No preservatives · No artificial processing
• Packaged by Tayyib — clean, fresh, and sourced with care

Why use sticky rice instead of regular rice?

Regular long-grain rice stays fluffy and separate — perfect for biryani, but completely wrong for Asian dishes that rely on a cohesive, sticky texture. Tayyib Chinese Sticky Rice has a completely different starch composition that binds together when cooked — essential for sushi, dumplings, rice desserts, and any recipe that requires rice to hold its shape.

How to use it

• Always soak before cooking — soak for at least 4–6 hours or overnight for best texture
• Steam, don't boil — steaming gives the authentic sticky texture; boiling makes it mushy
• Use for Chinese rice desserts, dumplings, shumai, zongzi and stuffings
• Can also be stir-fried or cooked risotto-style for a creamy, rich texture
• Don't skip soaking — unsoaked sticky rice cooks unevenly and loses its signature chew
• Don't boil in excess water — too much water makes it soggy, not sticky

Storage

• Store in an airtight container after opening
• Keep in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight
• Shelf stable — lasts up to 12 months when stored properly
