Rice.

Okay, I know nothing of rice beyond the 5 minute instant-rice you can buy at any grocery store. Wait, that's not true; I know that the rice I get when I order Chinese take out is 10 times better. It's that kind of rice that keeps the shape of the box when you take it out. This is what I want. I've heard it called "sticky rice" before but I can't seem to find anything on google that resembles it. I just want some quality rice, damnit. I realize it won't be a 5 minute job but I'm willing to make a commitment. ...though I probably won't buy one of those dedicated cookers.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ok, let me clarify then, I'm probably not talking about "sticky rice".

I'm not an expert at asian cuisine so basically I mean when you go to any local Chinese place in America and ask for "white rice" or "steamed rice". Like I said, if you get it from a take-out place and it comes in one of those little boxes, it keeps the shape of the box because it all sticks together. It has a totally different texture to me compared to 5-minute instant rice, and a moderately different taste too. If it's simply properly steamed rice, how can I go about accomplishing this?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
