How to choose delicious sticky rice for making xôi
- You should choose sticky rice grains that are opaque white, uniform, and glossy; when smelling, you can sense a light fragrance of fresh sticky rice.
- You can choose the yellow flower sticky rice variety to cook xôi, as this type of sticky rice has a high stickiness and a characteristic aroma when cooked.
- Good sticky rice will have a slightly sweet taste when you taste the raw grains, so buy sticky rice from reputable, quality places. You can buy it at TasteVN stores or order sticky rice online at bachhoaxanh.com.
- Do not buy sticky rice if you see the grains have turned a light yellow color, and when smelling, you feel a very strong fragrance, as this type of sticky rice may have been treated with chemicals.
