Question by Grey: How do I cook Chinese rice like in the restaurants?
I noticed the difference between Chinese and Japanese steamed rice at the restaurants. Japanese rice tends to be sticky and Chinese rice almost isn’t sticky at all. The rice is also more fragrant and the grains seem longer than the Japanese kind I usually eat.
What kind of rice should I buy? How do I prepare the rice to be just like the steamed rice at the Chinese restaurants? Can I use a rice cooker?
Thank you. Your help is greatly appreciated.

White jasmine rice and definately cook it with a rice cooker. If you follow the instructions it will turn out perfectly steamed

what she said ^^^^ I’m just backing her up
Like the first person said. Jasmine is the type of rice used in Chinese restaurants. Simply use a rice cooker.
I’ve noticed that the better Chinese restaurants like to use Thai Jasmine Rice, which is very fragrant & not too sticky. It’s usually a long grain rice.
Use a rice cooker. Its a no fail way to go. Rinse your rice at least 3 times, until the water is somewhat clear. Make sure you follow the instructions that go with your rice cooker. It should come out perfectly.
-Good luck
Chinese rest. use Calrose rice, trust me. I know it from rest. owners.
Buy it from ur local asian mart
Rinse the rice in a bowl or pot with sink water—rinse, drain, rinse, drain, etc, until the water is no longer white but clear
Put in rice cooker according to instructions.
Walah!
I’ve found that soaking it for an hour prior to cooking makes it much easier to deal with..
Rose rice is sticky rice , so use Jasmin rice . 1 cup enough for 2 to 3 people. Wash it ,dump out the water,put in clean water above 1 inch above the rice, then turn on ur rice cooker
The reason why Japanese rice is stickier is because they use short grain rice and Chinese restaurants use long grain rice. The best way to make the perfect rice is to buy the Asian rice cookers. not the ones sold at walmart. Go to an Asian store to buy one
