Thai sticky rice (also known as "sweet rice" or "glutinous rice") .
When purchasing sticky rice, make sure the label states "Glutinous" and that the rice is a product of Thailand.
How to cook Sticky Rice:
1. Rinse the glutinous rice several times to remove any debris.
2. Soak the rice in luke warm water for at least 4 hours or over night.
3. Pour soaked rice into a bamboo steaming basket. If there are any left over sticky rice, separate them into little pieces and dropped on top of the soaked rice. Cover the rice with a lid.
4. Add 2 inches of water into the steaming pot.
5. Place the bamboo steaming basket into the pot.
6. Once the water boils, start cooking time for 20 minutes.
7. Carefully remove the steaming basket from the pot and flip the rice.
8. Cook for another 5 minutes.
9. Mix the rice thoroughly.

I use calrose rice! Rinse it well and fill the water to about an inch above the top of the rice. PS: Rice really has no taste silly, it is all about the texture that u prefer.
Fannie gave you the best answer!!!
Get glutinous rice. Its commonly sold as sticky/sweet or just glutinous rice. If you're making a savory dish, then the white one is the one you need. Black sticky/glutinous rice is usually used for desserts.
