Xôi Đậu Phộng

Xôi Đậu Phộng is a delightful Vietnamese sticky rice dessert topped with roasted peanuts, offering a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors. This dish is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients, making it a wholesome treat.

Ingredients

• Glutinous rice - 150 grams
• Peanuts (roasted and crushed) - 50 grams
• Coconut milk - 100 ml
• Sugar - 30 grams
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Water - 250 ml
• Sesame seeds (optional) - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak it in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
2. Drain the soaked rice and place it in a steamer lined with cheesecloth. Steam the rice for about 20-25 minutes until it becomes translucent and sticky.
3. In a saucepan, mix the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves completely but do not let it boil.
4. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a mixing bowl and pour half of the coconut milk mixture over it. Stir well to combine, allowing it to absorb the flavors.
5. Serve the sticky rice on a plate, drizzling the remaining coconut milk mixture on top, and sprinkle the crushed peanuts and sesame seeds over it for added texture and flavor.
