#activeamazing. Normally I do buy two types of rice. 1.Sticky rice for tuwo, masa or other sticky rice recipe. 2.The regular rice for my white rice , jollof, fried etc. So this period the regular rice that was delivered to me happens to be sticky . When I used it I noticed it was so gummy .... I began thinking how am I suppose to use this sticky rice as regular rice but hey! That's why we are cook scientists... In the kitchen we will always find a way out for sure with our experiments... So I decided to use a different processing method and my sticky rice turns to regular rice 😊. I thought it will go a long way if I share this method.

Then you can go ahead to pour in enough hot water and cook your rice till soft, you can use it for white rice, jollof rice or any regular rice recipe. Note : parboiling is not needed. It work just perfectly well without the parboiling giving you amazing texture.
