How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose good quality sticky rice
- To choose delicious sticky rice, you first need to pay attention to the rice grains; good sticky rice grains should be large, glossy, not cracked, not have dirt or fuzz, and have a milky white color.
- If you get a chance to taste it, you will feel a light sweet flavor and no strange smell. If the sticky rice has been treated with chemicals, it will have an unusual smell, and when cooked into sticky rice or made into cakes, it often loses its aroma due to chemical decomposition and friction.
- Additionally, you should avoid choosing sticky rice that is too white as it may have been milled too finely, stripping away the bran that contains many nutrients.
- Currently, there are many low-quality sticky rice varieties on the market that can negatively affect health if used. You should carefully consider the origin and choose reputable brands.
- You can choose good types of sticky rice for making sticky rice dishes like yellow flower sticky rice, Tú lệ sticky rice, goose sticky rice,… When cooked, they expand just right, are very sticky, soft, and fragrant, and particularly, the sticky rice remains delicious even after cooling.
- You can easily find good sticky rice types as mentioned in supermarkets, rice stores, and reputable e-commerce sites like bachhoaxanh.com.
How to choose delicious, quality peanuts
- The best peanuts are usually large, round white seeds. When you press the seed with your fingers, it feels firm and plump.
- The seeds are uniform, not mixed with shriveled, rotten, or worm-infested seeds. You should also avoid selecting seeds that have strange odors or unusual marks on the peanut.
- Peanuts with a smooth outer shell (with shiny skin and many wrinkles) tend to be sweet, while mature peanuts (with dark, spotted skin) will have a richer flavor. Depending on your preference, you can choose the suitable peanuts.

How to make Coconut Milk Peanut Sticky Rice

Prepare the ingredients
Wash the sticky rice and peanuts with clean water. To soften the sticky rice and peanuts, soak them in water for about 6 – 8 hours or you can soak them overnight.
After soaking for enough time, place the soaked sticky rice and peanuts in a basket to drain the water.
Tip: To help eliminate odors and create a richer flavor when the sticky rice is cooked, you can add a little salt when soaking the sticky rice.
-
Steaming sticky rice
Prepare a steamer, add a little water into the pot and bring it to a boil on the stove over high heat, then place a bamboo basket on top. You can also use a basket, a flat tray, or a specialized steaming pot set to steam the sticky rice.
Next, mix the glutinous rice, peanuts, grated fresh coconut, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt thoroughly, then place the mixture in the bamboo basket and spread it evenly.
Steam the mixture for about 30 minutes over medium-low heat, then add the coconut milk and mix well, steaming for another 15 – 20 minutes until you taste the sticky rice is soft and the peanuts are cooked through. Turn off the heat and serve on a plate to enjoy.
Tip:
- To allow air to circulate easily, helping the sticky rice to cook evenly, when spreading the mixture in the bamboo basket, use chopsticks to poke 3 – 4 large holes.
- If you want the sticky rice to have a more fragrant aroma, you can use fresh coconut water to cook the sticky rice instead of regular water.
