GLUTINOUS RICE 5000 g - GOLDEN PHOENIX

Golden Phoenix Glutinous Sticky Rice is the essence of traditional Asian cuisine, an essential ingredient for preparing authentic dishes. Also known as sweet rice (despite its lack of sugar), it owes its name to its unique stickiness, achieved through a high content of amylopectin starch. Unlike regular rice, after cooking, it becomes dense, sticky, and slightly chewy, making it perfect for creating both sweet desserts and savoury, wrapped dishes.

This rice is crucial in the cuisines of Thailand, Vietnam, China, Laos, and the Philippines, where it forms the base for many iconic delicacies. Its unique texture makes it irreplaceable for making mochi, porridges, puddings, and as a base for fruit desserts with coconut milk.

Golden Phoenix Sticky Rice is rice of the highest quality, selected to provide chefs with the perfect texture for their culinary creations. Its unique properties make it not just a substitute for white rice, but an independent, fascinating ingredient that opens the door to the world of Asian desserts and snacks. This variety cooks differently than classic grain – it requires soaking and often steaming, which further enhances its stickiness and sheen.

The Golden Phoenix brand is synonymous with trust in Asian food products, and its glutinous rice is valued for the purity and uniformity of the grains. By choosing this rice, you are ensuring authenticity, essential for recreating famous Thai desserts such as Mango Sticky Rice (Khao Niao Mamuang), or Vietnamese Banh Chung. It is this very stickiness that allows the rice to hold its shape perfectly, which is key in preparing wrapped dishes and shaped desserts.

The glutinous variety has an incredibly long history and deep cultural significance, often used during festivals and ceremonies across Asia. Its role in the kitchen is dual: on one hand, it forms the base for sweets, combining with coconut milk and fruits; on the other, it works wonderfully in savoury dishes – as a base for stuffing chicken or for creating filled rice balls.

For lovers of Asian cuisine, and especially rice-based desserts, Golden Phoenix Glutinous Rice is an absolute must-have. It allows for the exploration of flavours that go beyond everyday meals, introducing an exotic texture and satisfying density to the menu. This product not only nourishes but also inspires a culinary journey through the rich tradition of Asia.
