Glutinous rice flour is a finely milled powder made from short-grain sticky rice, and it is the secret behind the wonderfully chewy, springy texture of so many Asian sweets and dumplings. Despite its name it contains no gluten at all, the word simply describing the sticky, glue-like quality it develops, so it is naturally suitable for gluten-free cooking. This one comes from Phoenix, a trusted Thai brand.

Its defining property appears in the cooking. When mixed with water and heated, it becomes moist, sticky, and pleasantly chewy, forming a soft, elastic dough quite unlike anything ordinary flour can produce. That distinctive bounce is precisely what makes it indispensable in its traditional uses: it is the foundation of Japanese mochi and dango, Chinese tang yuan and sesame balls, mochi ice cream, sticky rice cakes, and steamed kueh, as well as a range of chewy dumplings and desserts. It also works as a thickener for sauces and fillings.

Supplied in a practical 500g pack, it is an essential pantry staple for any kitchen making Asian sweets and dumplings.
