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

How to prepare Savory Mixed Sticky Rice
-
Soak the rice and cook the sticky rice
You put the sticky rice into a basin or a colander with small holes (to prevent the rice grains from falling through) and rinse it with water 2 – 3 times. Then soak the rice for at least about 4 hours for the rice to expand and soften, drain the water and let the rice dry.
Next, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the rice and stir well, then put it in a steaming pot with about 200ml of water. Turn on low heat and steam the rice for about 20 – 30 minutes.
During the steaming process, about every 10 minutes, open the lid and stir well to ensure the rice cooks evenly.
Tip: To make the sticky rice richer and more fragrant, you can add about half a cup (rice bowl) of coconut milk to cook with the rice.
