🌾 What Is Sweet Rice, and Why Soeos?
Sweet rice, also called glutinous rice, has a sticky, chewy texture that sets it apart from long-grain varieties. Despite the name, it doesn’t contain gluten — “glutinous” refers to the gluey consistency when cooked. It's a staple in East and Southeast Asian cuisines, used in everything from savory dumplings to sweet confections.
Soeos Sweet Rice is prized for its purity, consistent texture, and delicate flavor. Grown and packaged with care, it cooks evenly and absorbs seasoning beautifully — making it ideal for both beginners and seasoned chefs.

How to Cook Soeos Sticky Rice the Right Way
Sticky rice requires a slightly different approach than traditional rice. Here’s a simple method to get it just right:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups Soeos Sweet Rice
- Water for soaking and steaming
Instructions:
- Rinse the rice thoroughly until the water runs clear.
- Soak the rice in cold water for 4–6 hours or overnight. This step is crucial!
- Drain the rice and set up a steaming basket or cheesecloth-lined colander.
- Steam over boiling water for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
- Serve hot—or use in your favorite recipe!
Tip: Don’t boil it like regular rice. Steaming preserves the sticky texture without turning it mushy.
