Hello everyone, it’s me, Gembira! It’s been a whole week since we last chatted! Did you miss me? Lately, I've been craving sticky rice! Sticky rice is super popular in Southeast Asia. Can you guess one of the places it’s famous in? That’s right, Vietnam! Sticky rice is very popular there, especially during celebrations and holidays!
There’s a lot of different sticky rice dishes in Vietnam, and one of them is Xôi Đậu Xanh! If you haven't tried it yet, you’re in for a real treat! This delicious dish is made from sticky rice and mung beans, often topped with sesame seeds or coconut flakes for that extra crunch and sweetness. In Vietnam people usually eat sticky rice as breakfast or even as a snack
Now, let’s dive into how to make this tasty dish! Start by soaking glutinous rice overnight, then steam it until fluffy and fragrant. While that’s cooking, mash cooked mung beans with a hint of sugar and a pinch of salt to create a smooth topping. Once everything’s ready, layer the sticky rice with the mung bean paste, and you’ve got a delicious dish! So, who’s ready to make some Xôi Đậu Xanh with me? Let’s get cooking!
