Xôi Gấc (Vietnamese Red Sticky Rice)

Vietnamese Red Sticky Rice (Xoi Gac) is a traditional dish usually served at special occasions such as Lunar New Year. You can eat it on its own, or with Vietnamese ham, roasted peanuts and sesame seeds or roasted chicken.

This dish is incredibly simple with just two main ingredients: sticky rice and gac. Outside of Vietnam, you can find frozen gac seeds at some Vietnamese grocery stores.

Ingredients:
1 3/4 – 2 cups sticky rice (about 12-14 oz)
7 oz gac fruit seeds (about 1 cup)
2 tablespoons rice wine (or white wine, sake)
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons oil
2-3 teaspoons sugar (to taste)

Instructions:
1. Rinse sticky rice under water and then soak in plenty of water for at least 2-4 hours or overnight. When you are ready to make the dish, drain the rice.
2. Place the red seeds of gac fruits in a mixing bowl. Add wine, salt and oil to the bowl and then use a wooden spoon to stir and beat the seeds for 3-5 minutes, or until the red arils are extracted and create a red paste.
3. Add drained rice to the red paste. Stir well to combine thoroughly. Set aside for 5 minutes.
4. Transfer the rice to a steamer basket and steam for about 15-20 minutes. Then open the lid of the steamer, sprinkle sugar over the rice and stir well. You can taste and adjust with more sugar or salt to your likings. Steam for another 5-10 minutes or until rice is soft.
