The Vietnamese sticky rice recipe that wins my heart, every time! | Marion’s Kitchen

Growing up with an Asian mum, I have a special place in my heart for sticky rice. It has a characteristic chewiness and fragrance that just makes it so darned good. This recipe is based on xôi man, a Vietnamese sticky rice dish. There are sweet and savoury types of xôi, with sticky rice being the constant. Some versions are common for breakfast but the heft of this dish makes it an ideal - and easy - dinner. Try it and you’ll love it, promise. It’s full of tender chicken, sweet pops of Chinese lap cheong sausage and fragrant ingredients that take it to the next level.

Thank you for loving Vietnamese sticky rice dish ( xoi man) , I just want to correct it a little bit so it doesn't confused viewers that we normally season sticky rice with soy sauce not fish sauce ( nuoc cham). If you like nuoc cham it still ok too. Cheers

[@thaobenn6339]

👍👍👏👏

[@judgmentday221]

She added soy sauce too! I think both fish sauce and soy sauce make a great Vietnamese food! *** Filipino fan of Thai and Vietnamese food!

[@LouisSaver2012]

Fish sauce normally has more umami flavor than soy sauce, but usually we use soyce sauce for the color, a little darker would be nice

[@damiann4734]

Depends on the sticky rice dish. Usually plain sticky rice we eat with dipping fish sauce or soy sauce. For the chicken, there's so much flavour in that it self you do not need to add more sauce. I like sticky rice with vietnamese ginger chicken and that is with fish sauce..

[@brendadomingo8274]

Yes I could just sit and eat that plain sticky rice too 😋😋. I used to do that when I was growing up in the Philippines 🇵🇭.

[@doodahgurlie]

I made sticky rice the other day in my steamer over the stove stop. I made the sweet version with coconut and coconut cream. I also made the crushed sesame/peanut/sugar/salt mixture to dip it in. I loved eating it as a kid and still love it now. But yes, sticky rice is delicious savory or sweet or even plain. :)

I have missed your ‘Make it Wednesdays’ this past few weeks- loved them so much.

[@kngiht84]

Not a criticism but as someone has already pointed out, we eat sticky rice with soy sauce, not fish sauce (although I can imagine it'd be really good too). Another key component is scallion oil instead of raw scallion. Otherwise, this looks pretty authentic :)

[@doodahgurlie]

I thought the peanuts should have been swapped out with fried shallots as well. :)

[@cleancutguy1892]

None of my vietnamese friends eat the way you presented this dish. They use their hand to make a little ball in the hand, and the chicken or other protein is grilled, so they take a small ball of sticky rice, a small piece of grilled chicken and dip it with that sauce.

[@Delzy_224]

OMG I just made this and it is amazing. It's going on my dinner menu going forward. Cooked it in my wonky wok 😂 can't wait to cook it in my Mako. Love you and Mama Noi !! And a bonus I think I could just eat the sticky rice on its own as well-it is pretty hard to resist. 😂

[@neongo6446]

I’m early and now hungry. Cant wait to make this

[@watchouch]

A tip to make sticky rice better is to steam it then rest for at least half a day. Then mix the rice with some oil/chicken fat then steam once again. The rice will be extra fluffy and cooked evenly

[@cynot71]

TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO long. Some of us have to work 8-12 hours. Thanks for the tip though.

[@watchouch]

@@cynot71 lols. You can make it at night, then rest it while going to sleep. Next mornig wake up and steam again haha

[@dreamangel3487]

I love sticky rice (Vietnamese xôi mặn) .The way Vietnamese cook this a little bit different. Your version cook look yummy too. And this sticky rice go well with soy sauce ( not fish sauce:) ) . Spring onion can put in a bowl with a little bit oil and microwave few seconds to bring out flavor.

Hi Marion. Love your recipes. It's durian season here in Malaysia. Have you experimented with fermented durian or 'tempoyak'? Not sure if I've ever come across any Thai recipes using it, since durian is also popular in Thailand. Cheers.

It's the Panasonic SR-CN108WST (either 5 or 10 cup version).

[@icardeveryone01]

It's as if you'd read my mind! I have been shopping for the 'equipment' to make sticky rice - the basket, aluminum steamer pot, proper rice - just to find out I don't have the space for that situation on top of my stove! [Stupid microwave!] I'll be searching for an alternative method that doesn't include a rice cooker - although that does seem like the easiest, they are SO pricey! WHEN I have that all sorted out, I'll be trying your recipe, Marion! Thank you!! It looks sooooooo delish! =]

[@kika-ge5qr]

I love the steamer basket! I always thought sticky rice was a short grain. I can't wait to try this. Thank you Marion.

[@HoHosKitchen]

that is great recipes

[@doodahgurlie]

There is both a short and long grain version. I always use the long grain version. My cousin recently bought the short grain version (I think the Japanese use this version) and her sticky rice didn't come out as she expected. She then went out and bought the long grain one.

[@kika-ge5qr]

@@doodahgurlie Thank you for letting me know.

[@doodahgurlie]

@@kika-ge5qr Just look for a bag that says glutinous rice or sweet rice and if it's from Thailand, that should work. I'm almost certain my cousin got one from Japan, but I didn't see the bag she bought. She showed the newest one she bought recently and it reads "scented sweet rice long grain" along with the words "gao nep" which means glutinous rice in Vietnamese.

[@doodahgurlie]

@@kika-ge5qr I'm sure the short grain glutinous rice works, too, but I've always eaten the long grain one growing up. Short grain may just need to be cooked slightly differently.

[@brokenglassshimmerlikestar3407]

I love sticky rice but it's always a bit annoying that it needs steaming. I've tried rice cooker and pan on stovetop but the problem is the rice on the bottom starts to stick together and air and water can't get through, so you get charred bottom and undercooked rice on top...

[@sabeena.h9754]

Make a whole right in the middle of the rice. It helps to circulate steam throughout the pot. And also cook the top rice evenly

[@user-xn9xe5qu9j]

My rice cooker (Zojirushi NS-ZCC10) does a great job at cooking sticky rice. Just soak for an hour and then click the 'sweet' rice option and the results are great. I find that if you have the old-school style ones (like my mom's Tiger that just has an off/on button) those have a tendency to cook irregularly and burn the bottom of the rice.

[@doodahgurlie]

I made some the other day over a cheap steamer I've had for like over 2 decades. Just tossed it in and steamed it for like 20 minutes. Easy-peasy. If you cook a lot of it, you'll need to stop halfway through and turn the rice so it'll evenly cook. But I only cooked 2 cups' worth (those small measuring cups used for rice, not the regular 8 oz ones) and it worked out fine without turning since there wasn't a lot of rice.

Stop calling yourself "half". You grew up Asian, with Asian culture, with an Asian parent. You ARE Asian.

[@fung5768]

Not sure why you’re offended, but she was born in Australia and grew up in Australia. That makes her an Asian Australian.

[@doodahgurlie]

"An Asian" parent, which means one of her parents is Asian therefore the other parent isn't Asian. And she grew up in Australia, which isn't Asia. Therefore half is correct.

[@freddie6181]

1:20 Marion, i love your video but this is not the Vietnamese way of cooking rice 😖

[@meg7578]

No but it's her way of cooking the rice.

[@thanhtruong6369]

It sticky rice ( xôi) not steam rice. This is another way of cooking sticky rice. Not everyone using steamer to cook sticky rice like how Vietnamese usually cook.

[@doodahgurlie]

@@thanhtruong6369 Yep, how you steam it doesn't matter, but steaming it is what counts. Viets I know are trying to find shortcuts and will even cook it in the rice cooker like regular rice without steaming it over liquid. It works, but doesn't come out as great as when it's steamed over water.
