Sticky Rice

This is a great technique for making sticky rice. It turns out perfectly every time.

3 cups water
2 cups rice
pinch salt

Put 2 cups rice in bowl or fine mesh strainer. Rinse rice in cold water until it runs clear, rinsing off all the starch. This is very important. Place rinsed rice in a pot with 3 cups water. Bring to a boil and continue boiling for about 8 minutes or until the water is below the level of the rice. There will be small craters in the rice. At this point, place the lid on the pot and turn the heat to low. Continue cooking rice for 15 minutes without peeking or stirring. This makes the best rice I have ever eaten.
