Thai Glutinous Rice 1kg
The Secret to Authentic Thai Desserts & Street Food
Create the perfect Mango Sticky Rice or enhance your spicy salads with the premium quality of Royal Umbrella Thai Glutinous Rice. Often referred to as "Sweet Rice" or "Sticky Rice," this variety is famous for its opaque white grains. When steamed, these grains transform into a glossy, chewy, and cohesive texture that is essential for authentic Thai cuisine.
Royal Umbrella Thai Glutinous Rice is sourced from the finest crops in Thailand. This ensures a consistent grain that maintains its shape and texture, never becoming mushy or overly soft. Its exceptional quality makes it the essential foundation for North-Eastern (Isan) style dining. People who love traditional Thai food rely heavily on its superior texture and aroma for their cooking.
Why Royal Umbrella is the Gold Standard:
- Superior Texture: This rice achieves the signature "chew" that many people look for. It holds together perfectly without being overly wet or sticky. The texture strikes a balance between sticky and firm, giving the perfect mouthfeel.
- Versatile Essential: Royal Umbrella is required for classic Thai desserts like Mango Sticky Rice (Khao Niao Mamuang). It is also perfect for savory dishes such as Rice Dumplings, Grilled Chicken, and Papaya Salad. Its adaptability makes it a staple in Thai kitchens.
- Premium Quality: The rice is carefully milled to remove impurities while preserving its natural aroma. This attention to detail ensures the best cooking experience and flavor. You get consistent quality every time you cook with it.
- Naturally Gluten-Free: Despite its name "glutinous," this rice contains no gluten. Instead, the term refers to its glue-like texture when cooked. This makes it safe for those with gluten intolerance or celiac disease.
How to Cook Thai Glutinous Rice Perfectly
To achieve the best authentic texture, soak the glutinous rice in cold water for at least 4 hours or overnight. This step is crucial as it softens the grains and prepares them for steaming. Proper soaking ensures even cookiness and softness.
Avoid boiling this rice like regular rice. Instead, steaming yields perfect results with a chewy texture that is sticky but not soggy. The rice will be glossy and cohesive when cooked correctly. Using a steamer helps retain the natural flavor and structure.

Cooking Tips for the Best Results

- Steam the rice gently rather than boiling it. Steaming releases the natural texture and flavor of the rice, preventing it from becoming mushy.
- If using a steamer, spread the soaked rice evenly on a cheesecloth or steaming tray to ensure uniform cooking.
- Once cooked, fluff the rice lightly with a fork or spoon to separate the grains without crushing them. This keeps the rice airy while maintaining cohesion.
