How do I get sticky rice, the idea to make it possible to hand-feed
it to a dog other than one grain at a time.

The brown rice I usually make doesn't cohere well enough.

You want to make nice bolus-sized pills that you can put down
the dog's throat.

The complete mixture is hamburger (high fat version), rice, 3 slices
of white bread crumbled, hard-boiled egg, and some calcium in the
form of egg shell

I don't think there's enough hamburger to make it a meatloaf-type
stratum to hold the ingredients together. (1/4 lb vs. 2 cups rice).

Is white rice stickier?

White rice is somewhat stickier - at least it is when I make it - but
why not use raw egg in the mixture instead of hard-boiled, pat it into a
loaf pan and bake it until set?

Certain types of rice called glutinous or sweet rice are considered
sticky rice. It's not just the rice, though. It's also how the rice
is prepared. Google for "sticky glutinous rice". Here is one site:

http://importfood.com/stickyrice.html

Also, google for "sushi rice", which is widely grown in CA and
probably easier to find at your local supermarket. Short grain is a
little more glutinous than long grain white rice, but again, part of
this is prep. Sushi adds mirin, a very sweet -therefor sticky-
version of sake.

The prep of most sticky rices is a little different than other types,
specially if your preferences run to light and fluffy. Instead of
thoroughly washing glutinous rices of all its surface starch, you soak
it for a period of time to make the higher gluten content more sticky
and then cook it to retain that sticky starch cover.

Hi Ron,

You need glutinous rice and I've seen that one only as white rice.
This is the way Thais do it:

Let rice stay in fresh water for two hours.
Then pour all the water off.
Cook it in the steam pan until soft. Definitely not touching water

You wanted to prepare it for your dog, but I would recomment to steal
some for yourself and have it with barbecued chicken.
After that you won't cook it only for your dog anymore.
