Step 1
Rinse the 1 cup sticky rice in cold water until the water runs clear, then drain well.
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.
Step 3
Add the drained rice to the pot and stir to coat with oil, toasting for 2 minutes until slightly translucent.
Step 4
Pour in the 2 cups chicken broth and 1 tbsp soy sauce. Add the 0.5 tsp salt and stir once.
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.
Step 6
Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve warm.
