Glutinous rice
I've had this before in restaurants but my main reason for getting some was that it is actually recommended for my dog's health problem!
The shop told me I should soak it for 2 hours and also tried to sell me a rice steamer plus various bamboo paraphernalia. Well I'm not trying to set up the full oriental dining experience for my dog so I passed. ![]() Does anyone know whether it has to be steamed? If so will an ordinary stove top steamer do (as opposed to a rice steamer).

You mean as opposed to boiling like a pot of spaghetti? It's to preserve the starchy characteristics of the rice.
Here are some suggested methods. http://www.tablespoon.com/posts/how-...f-50d5bcfe3cb9 |

Since it's for your dog.....just use pudding rice (ie shortgrain) and boil it without washing before or after so that it retains most of the starch. Then I suppose you mix it up with the dogfood. When we lived in Asia you couldn't get catfood as such, so our cats' staple was rice mixed up with tins of herring in tomato sauce.

Where do you live? You may need to go to a Chinese supermarket with specialist varieties, usually Thai or Malay rice can be used to create really solid rice balls or cakes.
