Description
The Great Wall is over 21,000 kms long.
Sticky rice is also called glutenous rice, but contains no gluten (much like the Great Wall).
The literal translation of the Chinese name for the Great Wall is The Long Wall.
If you store cooked sticky rice it will get sticker over time. And you can freeze it for up to 2 months.
