<\/a><\/div>\n

Ah, the challenges of finding unusual ingredients locally!\u00a0 Or adapting dried versions of fresh ingredients, that’s a whole different challenge.\u00a0 For our letter X recipe, I decided to try out the Vietnamese x\u00f4i (sticky rice) dessert in a couple different iterations: X\u00f4i La Cam, and X\u00f4i La Dua.\u00a0 A purple rice and a green rice respectively, one made with magenta leaf herb and one with pandan.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0I already liked mango sticky rice and it was fun to try the new to me colored versions.\u00a0 Until I can get the fresh pandan and magenta leaf though, I might stick to plain with coconut sauce and mango since the dried versions are muted in color and kind of need a little artificial color help, which I prefer to avoid.<\/p>\n

Some versions of pandan rice call for a little pandan extract.\u00a0 I liked the aroma of the dried pandan, a little vanilla, a little buttery, and a little vegetal, kind of like green tea or even alfalfa.\u00a0 (Farm girl smells alfalfa in anything grassy.)<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Now that I think of it, I am half tempted to add a tiny bit of ube extract to the magenta for some awesome Vietnamese-Filipino fusion!\u00a0 (Leftovers reheat very nicely!)<\/p>\n

X\u00f4i Sticky Rice<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

1\u00bd cups glutinous rice
<\/span>\u2153 cup coconut milk
3 tbsp granulated sugar
<\/span>\u215b tsp sea salt<\/span><\/p>\n

Toppings:<\/i><\/p>\n

1 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
\u00be tsp granulated sugar
1 pinch salt
1 tbsp shredded coconut, optional<\/p>\n

Ways to color\/flavor the rice:<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

For <\/span>Xoi La Dua (Pandan sticky rice):<\/i>

<\/span>12 pandan leaves or equivalent in dried leaves<\/a> <\/span>(I used ~10 heaping tbsp)<\/span>
1\u00bc cups water<\/span><\/p>\n

For <\/span>Xoi La Cam (Magenta sticky rice):<\/i><\/p>\n

Magenta leaves or powder<\/a> <\/span>(I used about 15g powder for 330ml water)<\/span>
1\u00bc cups water
<\/span>
If coloring the sticky rice, for green pandan, add about 12 pandan leaves or equivalent and 1\u00bc cups water to a blender.\u00a0 Blend well until the leaves are very finely pulverized. Strain out the pandan juice with a fine mesh sieve into a bowl.
\u00a0
For magenta rice, simmer fresh magenta leaves or powdered, in water until a purple brew results.\u00a0 Strain out the leaves\/powder.\u00a0 Let the water cool slightly.<\/span><\/p>\n

To make the rice, rinse 1\u00bd cups of glutinous rice until the water runs clear (4-5 times). (I divided my rice into two \u00be cup portions.)\u00a0 Add the rice portions to the bowls with the colored juices. Let the rice soak for 4 hours or overnight.\u00a0 If during the soaking the rice starts to look too dry, add more water.\u00a0 Place the bowl in the fridge, covered, if soaking overnight.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prep a steamer by bringing water to a simmer and adding a steamer insert.\u00a0 (I used my instant pot and the steam setting, with a lined colander and insert to raise the colander.)\u00a0 Place a sheet of parchment paper on top of the steamer insert.\u00a0 Poke some small holes in the parchment paper with a skewer or toothpick to help the steam come through.<\/p>\n

Drain the rice and pour onto the lined steamer insert. Cover and steam for 40 minutes. Test the sticky rice for doneness. If it is not quite done, continue cooking for a few more minutes and test again.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
While the rice is steaming, make the coconut sauce. Combine\u00a0\u2153 cup of coconut milk, 3 tbsp of granulated sugar, and\u00a0<\/span>\u215b tsp of salt.\u00a0 Cook over medium heat until the sugar melts and then remove from the heat.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
When the rice is done steaming, pour the coconut sauce over the top, dividing among each color.\u00a0 Mix until all the rice is coated in the sauce. Let it sit for a few minutes to absorb.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
Lastly, make the sesame seed topping. Take the 1 tbsp of toasted sesame seeds and grind in a mortar and pestle. Add \u00be tsp of granulated sugar and 1 pinch of salt and mix.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
To serve, spoon the sticky rice into a bowl.\u00a0 Top with sesame seed topping and optional shredded coconut.<\/span><\/p>\n

Use more or less sugar to adjust the sweetness to taste.<\/p>\n
