/ck/ - Food & Cooking

All I want is sticky rice. You know, Japanese rice or something to that effect. The kind that clings together when cooked.

But apparently, it's impossible to find out exactly what kind of rice I need to buy to get it!

Wikipedia says that Japanese rice is short grain.

My rice cooker manual says that sticky rice is medium grain.

And /ck/ told me a while ago that sticky rice is long grain.

Which is it?! Why is something so simple so bloody confusing??
