Instead of Glutinous rice
Nothing gives glutinous rice's same gluey, chewy cling; short-grain rice is the closest everyday option.
Short-grain riceUse the same weight; rinse and soak 30 minutes, then cook with about 10% less water. Stickier than basmati but not as gluey as glutinous rice.
RiceUse the same weight. Ordinary rice gives separate grains rather than the chewy cling of glutinous rice; adjust water and cooking time to the variety.
Basmati riceUse the same weight. Fragrant and separate; not sticky at all, so only suitable where the gluey texture is not essential.
