What size is the bowl you need need to put the ribs and rice in and where can I get it
As long as you can place inside the pot.
What is glutinous rice?
I look forward to your response so I can make this recipe!
Thank you
Carol
it is flour of sweet rice.
I made this once and it was delicious. Can I double the recipe? Do I need to adjust the cooking time? Also I would imagine if I doubled the ribs they might not lie flat in the bowl. Will they cook ok if they are stacked on top of each other? Thank you!
