This chicken flavored sticky rice using authentic sushi rice will be your new favorite supper time side dish!
My older kids have been eating a lot of rice lately. I don’t know exactly why, but all of a sudden it’s their go-to for weekend lunch or evening snacks. So much so, that I’m constantly replenishing our good ol’ box of “Instant White Rice” at the grocery store. And because of this, I’ve started paying way more attention to the other types of rice around me. To the point that I’m ashamed that I never knew some of them even existed. Like, did you know “Instant White Rice” isn’t the only white rice? Or that the amazing rice you get at the hibachi restaurants is actually sold in the store to non-hibachi-restaurant owners? It’s actually not an Ancient Chinese Secret? I’m embarrassed to say that I certainly didn’t!
And this Sticky Chicken Rice is yum-azing! It may not be as good for sushi (it’s still sticky, but the broth definitely changes the sticky aspect a bit differently than adding the traditional rice vinegar)
But, it’s great in a bowl with chicken for dinner. Or for fun school lunches, you can see some that I’ve made here.
It can be made on the stove, but making it in the Instant Pot is no-fail.
