How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose sticky rice for delicious xôi
- You should choose sticky rice grains that are uniform, plump, and have a cloudy white color. When smelling, you can sense the light fragrance of freshly harvested sticky rice.
- You can choose the yellow flower sticky rice variety for making xôi, as this type has high stickiness and a special aroma.
- Good sticky rice is when you taste the raw grains and find them mildly sweet.
- You should buy sticky rice from reputable, quality stores or supermarkets. You can also purchase from the TasteVN store system or order sticky rice online at the website bachhoaxanh.com.
- Avoid buying sticky rice when you see the grains have turned a light yellow or when you smell a strong, pungent fragrance, as this type may have been treated with chemicals.
How to choose good quality black beans
- You should choose green heart black beans for better xôi, with uniform grains, thin skin, and shiny black color.
- Good black beans usually have a distinctive aroma, with no strange or musty smell.
- You can test by squeezing the bean; if the bean remains unchanged, it is good. If it makes a sound when squeezed, it is definitely hollow and should not be chosen.
- Avoid choosing beans that are chipped, shriveled, infested, or have a musty smell.
How to choose delicious, safe green beans
- For this sticky rice dish, you should choose peeled green beans, as they need to be soft and smooth when cooked.
- You should select green beans that are of moderate size and uniform, not too large. When squeezing them, they should feel firm and not easily crushed.
- Avoid choosing beans that have unusual colors, signs of mold or pests, or have a strange smell when sniffed.
- If you buy pre-packaged beans, pay close attention to the packaging and expiration date to select the best quality green beans.
How to choose fresh, delicious peanuts
Choose firm peanuts that do not break easily when squeezed, with a reddish-pink skin.
Good peanuts will have a distinctive aroma, without a pungent smell or signs of pests.
Avoid buying peanuts that show signs of mold, have turned brown or black, or have tiny spots.
