Sticky Rice, known in Thailand as Khao Niao, is a unique type of short-grain rice that becomes exceptionally sticky and soft when cooked. It is an indispensable element of Thai and Laotian cuisine, playing a role there that Jasmine rice holds in other regions. Sticky rice is not only the base for many sweet desserts but also a traditional accompaniment to main courses, especially those eaten by hand, such as grilled meats or spicy salads (Larb). The STC brand ensures high-quality grains, which translates into an authentic South-East Asian flavour experience. It is ideal for preparing the classic Thai dessert, Mango Sticky Rice.

Thai Sticky Rice by the STC brand is a culinary ticket to the heart of Thailand and Laos, regions where this unique rice is the undisputed king of the table. Unlike classic rice, Khao Niao grains are characterized by a high content of amylopectin and almost zero content of amylose, which is the secret to their unique, sticky texture after cooking. It is this characteristic that makes this rice irreplaceable in dishes that require a compact and cohesive structure.
This rice has a wide range of uses. It is a key ingredient in sweet treats, such as the aforementioned Mango Sticky Rice (sticky rice with mango and coconut milk) or desserts wrapped in banana leaves, such as Khao Tom Mat. However, its role does not end with sweets. In Northern Thailand and Laos, it is the rice most commonly served with grilled fish, chicken, and spicy curry dishes, where its texture makes it easy to scoop up food by hand. It is also often used to produce rice flour for Asian dumplings and noodles.
