Maangchi's Amazon picks for sweet rice

It's always best to buy Korean items at your local Korean grocery store, but I know that's not always possible, so I chose some products on Amazon that are good quality. See more about how these items were chosen.

Despite its name, this rice is not sweet at all. It’s much stickier than usual short grain rice, which is why it’s also called “glutinous rice” – because it’s like glue, not because it contains gluten.

Store in a cool, dry spot in an airtight container. Look for it with other rices at Korean grocery stores and other Asian markets and some supermarkets.

    Is it possible to use normal white rice or sticky rice instead?

    Nhi,
    no, I’m using normal short grain rice (known as sushi rice) to make rice.

    Hi Maangchi,

    Is this the same rice that use to cook steam rice I normally get at Korean restaurants?

    Thanks!
