Prepare Peanuts and Sticky Rice
Wash the sticky rice briefly to remove dirt and impurities, gently and evenly to preserve the nutrients in the rice.
Wash the peanuts clean, discard any floating peanuts, then soak them in water for about 3 – 4 hours to soften them, which will make them taste better when cooked.
-
Mix Sticky Rice and Peanuts
After soaking, drain the sticky rice and peanuts in a colander to remove excess water.
Next, mix the sticky rice, peanuts, and 1/3 teaspoon of salt together.

Proceed to Cook Sticky Rice with Peanuts
Add the mixed sticky rice and peanuts into the rice cooker. Then, pour warm water just enough to cover the rice (do not add too much) to avoid mushy sticky rice, making small holes on the rice surface, then press the cook button.
After the Cook button switches to Warm for about 5 minutes, open the rice cooker, mix in the coconut milk with the sticky rice, then press the Cook button again and let the sticky rice finish cooking.
Final product
When the rice cooker switches to Warm once again, it means your sticky rice with peanuts is complete. The fragrant aroma of sticky rice combined with peanuts will warm the hearts of the whole family during this chilly winter season.
You can sprinkle a little grated coconut on top of the sticky rice to make the dish more appealing.

How to choose sticky rice, fragrant
- You should choose to buy sticky rice that is uniform, plump, and has an opaque white color. When smelling, you should detect a light fragrance of fresh sticky rice.
- When you taste it, if the raw sticky rice has a slightly sweet taste, you should buy it because that is good sticky rice.
- In addition, you should buy sticky rice from reputable stores or supermarkets for more assurance about quality.
- You should not buy sticky rice if you see the grains have turned light yellow or if you smell a strong, pungent odor, as this type of sticky rice may have been treated with chemicals.
How to choose delicious, quality peanuts
- You should prioritize choosing peanuts that are large, round, and not overly misshapen.
- If you press them with your hand and feel the peanuts are firm, and there are no unusual tiny black spots on the surface, you should buy them.
- Avoid buying peanuts that have an unpleasant odor or are overly infested with worms because those peanuts are spoiled and no longer of good quality.
