What kind of rice is Rooster Brand Superior Sweet Rice?!
Answers:
Longlive is correct. The sweet rice is used in both Chinese and Japanese cooking but mostly in the form of desserts and Ip Jai and Jung ( steamed rice wrapped in banana leaves/ lotus leaves).
The rice is best when soaked for a few hours like Longlive says. The soaking pulls the starch out of the glutenous grains. You can then cook it like regular long grain rice in a rice cooker or pot BUT use an equal part of rice and water ( 1 to 1 ). DO NOT use the recommended 1 part rice to 1 1/2 parts water.
What I also suggest is:
1. Buzz some rice in a coffee grinder into a flour this will = mochi flour
2. Go to http://alohaworld.com or any other recipe site and enter mochi.
You will have a whole bunch of tasty lil snacks to create.

Sweet rice means glutinous rice aka sticky rice, this is not the regular rice we normally eat at Chinese restaurants, or for that matter not rice Chinese people eat every meal. It is usually used for making dessert or snacks, appetizers. As the name implies it is sticky. Most of the food using this rice is steamed or deep fried. To cook this rice, it should be soaked for 2-3 hours, drain the water, then put the rice on a white cloth and steam for 20-25 minutes.
For regular white rice, you should look for either long grain, jasmine, or basmati.
