The process involves preparing glutinous rice within a standard electric cooking appliance. This method offers a convenient and accessible way to produce a traditional dish. A typical example involves soaking the rice, placing it in the rice cooker with a specified amount of water, and initiating the cooking cycle until the rice achieves a characteristically sticky texture.
This approach significantly simplifies the creation of this culinary staple. Prior to the widespread availability of these appliances, preparing the dish often demanded specialized equipment and precise timing to avoid burning or uneven cooking. The use of this modern appliance reduces the need for constant monitoring and allows for a more consistent outcome. Historically, the dish was prepared using steaming baskets over open flames, a process demanding considerable skill.
