Peanut Sticky Rice (Xoi Dau Phong)

I have not eat this for a while and was craving for it. It is very easy to make. Make sure you cook the peanuts well.



Ingredients:

2 cups glutinous rice
1 cup raw peanuts

Garnish:

8 oz shredded coconut
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp sesame seeds
1/2 tsp salt

Method:

1. Soak glutinous rice for 4 hours or over night.
2. Soak peanuts for 3 hrs and boil it for 40 minutes. Drain. (You actually don't need to soak the peanuts, but just cook longer.)
3. Drain glutinous rice and mix with peanuts. Steam the peanut glutinous rice for 20-30 minutes.
4. Steam the frozen shredded coconut for 15 minutes and let cool.
5. Roast sesame by frying in a pan until golden. Stir constantly when frying to prevent burning.
6. Mix the roasted sesame, sugar, and salt together. Pound the sesame for a little so it's more fragrance.
7. Serve the sticky rice with some shredded coconut and sugar mix.
