Yeah, from playing with the two - Jasmine is more glutinous - so it you
cook it as directed it would come out sticky.   Soak your rice longer
and start it out in warm water - then rinse it before you continue. I 
usually rinse rice till the water comes clean, and rinse with hot water
if I don't want the rice to be sticky.

I believe the soaking step 3 is intended to draw out the starches that caused
your rice to stick on step 4.

I'm going to go get some non-brown rice (basmati) like it calls for 
and see what I can do with this later in the week and see how it comes 
out for me.  I only tend to have brown rice on hand normally.
