Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Rinse the 1 cup sticky rice in cold water until the water runs clear, then drain well.

  2. Step 2

    Heat the 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the 2 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  3. Step 3

    Add the drained rice to the pot and stir to coat with oil, toasting for 2 minutes until slightly translucent.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in the 2 cups chicken broth and 1 tbsp soy sauce. Add the 0.5 tsp salt and stir once.

  5. Step 5

    Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 20 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve warm.
