We accidentally (H) ordered the sticky rice. It’s very sticky, also quite compacted. Give me regular Thai Jasmine any day. But H seemed to like it. You could totally do larb w/o any kind of rice. I happen to love the toasted rice powder, but ours didn’t have it this time. It is a bit gritty & I can well understand why some don’t like it. As far as making your own, I think you could grind and toast just about any rice. I’d advise against black or red rice though.
