How to choose ingredients
How to choose fresh and delicious jackfruit
- You should choose round, even jackfruit that is not dented and feels heavy in your hand. When buying, you can press the skin with your hand; if it feels soft, the jackfruit is ripe and can be purchased for cooking.
- Additionally, you can gently tap the jackfruit and listen; if you hear a “thud” sound, the jackfruit is ripe and delicious.
- When cooking dishes from jackfruit, you should choose sliced jackfruit as this type has a certain crunchiness and does not become mushy when stir-frying.
- Avoid choosing jackfruit with sharp, hard spikes and thick skin, as these are usually jackfruits that have been artificially ripened and are not as sweet as naturally ripened ones.
How to choose good sticky rice
- You should choose sticky rice grains that are opaque white, uniform, and glossy; when you smell them, you can sense the light fragrance of fresh sticky rice.
- You can choose the yellow flower sticky rice variety for making xôi, as this type has a high stickiness and a characteristic aroma when cooked.
- Good sticky rice will have a light sweet taste when you taste the raw grains, so you should buy sticky rice from reputable, quality places. You can purchase it at TasteVN stores or order sticky rice online at bachhoaxanh.com.

Peeling jackfruit
Split the jackfruit in half, use paper or banana leaves to wipe off some of the sticky sap. Then cut off the core of the jackfruit, clean the sap and remove each jackfruit segment.
Next, tear a small line on the jackfruit segment and remove the seeds. Put the jackfruit into a jar and store it in the refrigerator.
Tip: To avoid getting jackfruit sap stuck on the knife, before cutting the jackfruit, apply a layer of cooking oil on the knife to make it easier to wash off the sap.

Soak glutinous rice
Wash the glutinous rice clean through 2 rounds of water, then place it in a basin. Add 100ml of pandan leaf extract to the basin and then add water until it covers the glutinous rice.
Soak the rice overnight for about 7 – 8 hours for the rice grains to absorb water, swell, soften, and take on the green color of the pandan leaves.

Steam rice and wrap sticky jackfruit
After soaking the rice overnight, place a steamer on the stove. Add water to the steamer and heat until boiling, then place the rice into the steamer. Cover and steam the rice for about 25 – 30 minutes.
When the glutinous rice is swollen, soft, and fragrant, it is cooked. Turn off the stove and use a ladle or chopsticks to fluff the rice. Then, scoop the rice into a bowl, add 100g of sugar, and mix well. You can adjust the amount of sugar according to your family’s taste.
Next, take the jackfruit, fill it with rice. Top the rice with some shredded coconut and toasted sesame seeds. And there you have it, a super simple sticky jackfruit dish is ready.
