frequently. This stirring helps loosen the
outer surface of the rice, allowing more starch (amylopectin) to leak out
into the sauce, making a creamy and rich dish. The rice is cooked until it's
still firm but tender. I have made risotto with long grain white rice, with
good success, so you can certainly use that rice if you prefer.
Sticky rice, or short grain or glutinous rice, is pretty easy to cook
because it will naturally turn out sticky if cooked according to package
directions. The challenge is to cook rice so the grains are tender and
fluffy; sticky and creamy is easy!
Rice cookers are nice appliances that turn out whatever type of rice you
like with no skill on your part! If you cook a lot of rice, consider buying
a rice cooker.

This might have been done before, but probably a good while ago. I'm
interested in learning about the varieties of rice, and how to prepare
them.
I am very familiar with brown rice and minute rice, but the other ones in
between are still a mystery! Thanks.
