How to cook it
-
The night before, soak the glutinous rice in plenty of water for at least 6 hours, then drain well.
-
Toss the rice with the salt and steam it in a lined steamer basket over boiling water, covered, until glossy and tender, about 30 minutes, fluffing once halfway.
-
Slice the Chinese sausage thinly on the diagonal and fry it in a dry pan until the fat runs and the edges crisp, about 3 minutes.
-
Cut the cha lua into thin strips.
-
Warm the oil in a small pan, pour it over the sliced scallions in a heatproof bowl and stir in a pinch of salt to make the scallion oil.
-
Pack the sticky rice into bowls, top with the sausage, cha lua and pork floss, spoon over the scallion oil, scatter with fried shallots and finish with a few drops of soy sauce. Most mornings xoi is bought wrapped in a leaf on the way to work; at home it is a weekend breakfast.
