Ketan rice or sticky rice are round, white rice grains that naturally contain a lot of starch and therefore stick together after cooking. It is the same kind of rice as the Japanese sushi, the Spanish paella and the Italian risotto rice varieties. Ketan rice is often prepared in Asian and Indonesian cuisine in both savory and sweet dishes. Ketan rice from Golden Diamond has premium quality and comes from Thailand.

Ketan rice or glutinous rice is prepared in both savory and sweet dishes. Like the famous lemper, wadjik and Loh mai kai (glutinous rice with chicken in lotus leaf).
