Thai Sticky Rice

Picture is not mine but looks similar to how yours should.
I got it from onokinegrindz

Thai Sticky Rice is a special kind of rice only found at some asian food stores. It has a very solid white color to it , not clearish like normal rice.

Wikipedia Says "Glutinous rice (Oryza sativa var. glutinosa or Oryza glutinosa; also called sticky ricesweet ricewaxy ricebotan ricebiroin chalmochi rice, and pearl rice) is a type of short-grained Asianrice that is especially sticky when cooked. It is called glutinous (< Latin glūtinōsus) in the sense of being glue-like or sticky and not in the sense of containing gluten; on the other hand, it is called sticky but should not be confused with the other varieties of Asian rice that become sticky to one degree or another when cooked."


You can buy it online
Thai Sticky Rice
Steaming Pot and Basket

So once you have the rice it is easiest to cook it in a pot with a basket made for cooking it.
Soak Rice for 1 day in water.
Assuming you have both the rice and the pot, you fill the pot with a couple inches of water (shouldn't touch basket when boiling). Put basket in the pot and rice in the basket with a lid over the rice. You want to cook the rice until it is translucent and sticky to its self but not too sticky to the touch.
