- Cuisine: Vietnamese
Usually served with grilled meats, sticky rice also makes a healthy snack. When it is fried, you should end up with delicious pillows of creamy rice within a crisp and golden crust.
Ingredients
500g glutinous rice1/3 teaspoon salt
50g split, peeled yellow mung beans (Vietnamese pantry)
1 tsp baking powder
Vegetable oil for deep-frying
Soy and chilli dipping sauce, to serve
Preparation
Wash the rice under running water, until the water runs clear. Transfer the rice into a saucepan or rice cooker, then add 750 ml water and the salt. Cook for 30 minutes.Meanwhile, put the mung beans into a saucepan and cover with cold water. Cook until the beans are soft, then drain.
Put the cooked rice, mung beans and baking powder into a large bowl. Using a pestle, work the rice until all of the grains are broken and the ingredients combined. Put the mixture into a 4cm deep 30 × 24cm tray and smooth out with dampened hands. Set in a refrigerator for about 4 hours, or until chilled.
When set, cut the rice into 5 cm batons, or use a spoon to scoop out the rice to make a ball shape. Fry immediately in hot oil. When lightly coloured, remove from the oil and drain on paper towel.
Arrange the fried sticky rice on a central platter and encourage guests to dip the pieces in soy and chilli sauce. In Vietnam, a cold beer often accompanies this dish. Enjoy!

Hot Tips
How to judge the heat of a chilli
Generally the smaller the chilli the hotter the heat. By removing seeds and flesh this you will decrease the heat of the chilli. Wash your hands thoroughly after coming in contact with chilli, as the capsicin (the oil within the chilli) burns when it comes in contact with your eyes or sensitive skin.
