Jasmine Sticky Rice

Jasmine rice has a sweeter taste and a stickier grain than most kinds of rice.
We make Jasmine Sticky Rice to serve up with our Asian meals.
Its very simple to make, when you know the right rice to water ratio. We will give that to you in this recipe!
We add star anise into the cooking process to give a subtle flavour to the rice.
