    I’ve seen it, too. When I want fluffy individual grains, I rinse the rice first. If I want sticky rice, I don’t rinse it. And it works for all different kinds of rice.

    There’s going to be powdered starch on the outside of the grains of rice. If you rinsed it and then added something like corn starch to the water you’d end up with sticky rice.
