Kristen - You really had me puzzled with "sweet" rice  At first I thought you meant Jasmine rice ( which is my very favorite rice) but after doing a search, I came up with the following. The cooking method sounds long, and like you need some special equipment. I'm still not sure this is the rice you are talking about but click the link below and see:

Good Luck!

I was never very good at cooking rice...either too soggy or lumpy, etc., etc. About 10 months ago our local ALDIS store offered a small rice cooker for $9.95 so I bought one. Let me tell you, it's one of the best small kitchen appliances I ever bought! It does a wonderful job, rice comes out perfect every time. I'd be lost without it because I do eat a lot of rice, at least once or twice a week. I like it because I can turn it on and forget about it, and it keeps the rice warm and fluffy.
