How do you cook purple sticky rice?
I picked some up from a bulk foods bin at Whole Foods, so of course there are no instructions that come with it. I've done a little research online, and everything I find seems to indicate using a rice cooker (which I do not have) or a rice steamer (which I also do not have).
Can someone please suggest a way to cook my small quantity (probably less than a cup) of purple sticky rice that doesn't involve going out to buy new kitchen equipment?
Please do NOT give me instructions on how to cook regular brown or white rice. I know how to do that. Two parts water to one part rice, bring water to a boil, add rice, cover it and reduce heat, simmer on low for 20 minutes (white rice) or 45-60 minutes (brown rice).
It's clear from what I've seen online that this purple stuff requires soaking and steaming. I'm asking if someone has found a method which doesn't require me to buy more equipment. Would a sieve over a pan of boiling water work?

It as you said like regular rice in cooking, but like brown rice it takes longer as it a whole grain, as chef I used it for both sweet and savoury purposes, you can cook it on the stove or in a rice cooker, you just simmer it for 25-30 minutes, I made sweet rice puddings, rice desserts with coconut milk and tapioca pearls for savoury dishes a pinch of salt is fine, you can also use it for making steamed lotus leaf pouches with meat or veggie fillings, these take 3-4 hours of boiling. You can soak it like beans overnight in the frig or on the counter, this does cut the time down a bit.
