By soaking the glutinous rice in boiling water, there is the added advantage of lowering the glycemic index of the cooked rice and the resulting rice is also fluffier and less sticky! With this technique of pre-soaking in boiling water and coating with oil, the rice retains its structure after cooking. It is almost as good as soaking the rice overnight and steaming it! I no longer pre-soak my glutinous rice when I cook this dish.
