How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose sticky rice
- You should choose grains of sticky rice that are even, plump, and have a milky white color. When smelling, you can sense a light aroma of fresh sticky rice.
- You can choose the yellow flower sticky rice variety for making xôi, as this type has high stickiness and a special fragrance.
- Good sticky rice is when you taste a raw grain and it has a light sweet flavor.
- You should buy sticky rice from reputable, quality stores or supermarkets. You can also purchase at the TasteVN store system or order sticky rice online at the website bachhoaxanh.com.
- Do not buy sticky rice when you see the grains have turned a light yellow color or when you smell a strong aroma, as this type may have been treated with chemicals.
How to choose ripe jackfruit
- For the xôi mít dish, you should choose jackfruit that is just ripe and yellow, and avoid overripe jackfruit as it will affect the quality of the dish.
- Good ripe jackfruit usually feels heavy in hand. Tree-ripened jackfruit has a strong and distinctive aroma. Jackfruit that has been injected with chemicals usually does not smell as fragrant as tree-ripened jackfruit.
- Good ripe jackfruit typically has skin that turns brownish-yellow, with the spikes no longer sharp and spaced farther apart. If the jackfruit skin is green, the spikes are sharp, and the spacing between spikes is close, then it is still unripe and has been artificially ripened.
- Good tree-ripened jackfruit will have little sap and no white sap when cut. When the jackfruit has been injected with chemicals, the sap will be white and flow a lot when cut due to the effects of the chemicals.
How to choose fresh and delicious mangoes
- Choose ripe, golden mangoes that feel firm in your hand, with smooth and shiny skin. When you gently press, you can feel the firmness of the mango flesh; those that are not soft or bruised are the delicious ripe mangoes.
- Avoid buying mangoes that are darkened or have an extremely attractive appearance.
- In reality, not all ripe mangoes are yellow, and not all non-fragrant mangoes are unripe. So you need to consider carefully to choose the mangoes you like.

Blend Pandan Leaves and Cook Sticky Rice
Pandan leaves are washed, cut into small pieces, then put into a blender with 200ml of water, press the blending button until smooth, and then squeeze to get the juice.
Next, rinse the glutinous rice with water until clean. Then add the pandan juice, add 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and soak for at least 4 hours.
After the rice has absorbed all the water and has a beautiful green color, you take the glutinous rice out to drain.
Add 500ml of water to the rice cooker, place the steaming tray inside, cover it, then plug it in and press the cook button. Wait for the water in the pot to boil, then open the lid to add the soaked glutinous rice to the steaming tray and cover it again.
After about 15 minutes of steaming, open the lid to add 50ml of coconut milk and a bit of pandan water, stir well, and continue steaming for another 15 minutes.
Then open the lid, add 5 tablespoons of sugar, and cook for another 10 minutes until the sticky rice is cooked and soft.
Scoop the sticky rice into a large bowl to cool.

Cooking sticky rice
Wash the glutinous rice thoroughly after purchasing, then soak it in a basin with water and 1 teaspoon of salt for about 6 – 8 hours. If you want the sticky rice to have a more attractive and appealing color, you can add 1 drop of food coloring to the soaking water!
After soaking, drain the rice. Then, pour 1 liter of water into the rice cooker, place the steaming tray on top (with a cloth for steaming under the tray), cover it, and press the steam button for about 30 minutes.
After 15 minutes of steaming, add the coconut milk and stir well, then steam for another 15 minutes. Steam until you see the sticky rice is soft and chewy, then it is ready to be taken out to cool.

Prepare the jackfruit
You should choose ripe, evenly yellow jackfruit segments with thick, fragrant flesh to make the sticky rice more delicious and authentic.
Use a knife to remove the jackfruit seeds and cut neatly; if the jackfruit segments are large, you can divide them into 2 parts.
Then, place a pan on the stove and add 100ml of coconut milk along with 100g of sugar to drizzle over the dish. You can adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste!
