Sticky Rice Recipe

(Xoi)

Ingredients : Serves 4-5

400 g

1 teaspoon

Glutinous rice (specified on packet)

Salt

• Rinse and drain the rice after soaking overnight.

• Spread the soaked rice mixed with salt over a dampened cheesecloth in the top of a steamer and steam for about 40 minutes, sprinkling water over it occasionally.

• Taste while cooking for consistency.

• It should not be al dente; Vietnamese prefer it well boiled in much the same way the older generation in the United Kingdom prefer their vegetables well done.
