Part 1: Going to the Market to Buy Ingredients

  1. Choose to buy glutinous rice:
    • Choose delicious glutinous rice, evenly grained, fine, with a slight aroma. Yellow flower glutinous rice or glutinous rice is the ideal choice.
    • Depending on the number of people eating, you can buy from 500g to 1kg of glutinous rice.
  2. Preparation of natural coloring materials:
    • Red: Use gac or gardenia.
    • Purple: Brocade leaves or purple sweet potatoes.
    • Green: Pandan leaf or glutinous leaf.
    • Yellow: Fresh turmeric or turmeric powder.
    • White: Retains the natural glutinous rice color.
  3. Other Ingredients:
    • Coconut milk (if you want sticky rice to taste fatty).
    • Sugar, salt to taste.
    • Roasted sesame and grated coconut to sprinkle on sticky rice after cooking.

Part 2: Preparing ingredients and cooking sticky rice

  1. Preliminary preparation of glutinous rice:

    • Rinse the glutinous rice with water, soak the rice in cold water for 6-8 hours or soak overnight to make the rice soft.
    • Divide the glutinous rice into 5 equal portions.

  2. Preparation of colored water:

    • Red: Gac is cooked in half, take Gac meat and mix well with a little salt, then soak the corresponding rice in Gac water for about 1 hour.
    • Purple: Boil the broccoli or purple sweet potato with water, strain the water and soak the rice.
    • Green: Puree the pandan leaves with a little water, strain the juice and soak the rice.
    • Yellow: Pound fresh turmeric, mix with water, filter out the pulp and soak the rice.
    • White: Glutinous rice is left untouched, not soaked with colored water.

  3. Cooking sticky rice:

    • Place each portion of soaked rice in the steamer, each color separately.
    • Add a little coconut milk to each portion of rice if you want the sticky rice to be fatter.
    • Steam the sticky rice for about 30-40 minutes until the sticky rice is soft and flexible.

Part 3: Decorate and enjoy

  1. Displaying five-color sticky rice:

    • After the sticky rice is cooked, take each piece of sticky rice onto a plate or tray, arrange it in a circle or shape it as you like.
    • Sprinkle roasted sesame seeds and grated coconut on top of sticky rice to enhance flavor and aesthetics.

  2. Enjoy:

    • Five-color sticky rice is a traditional dish, not only beautiful but also very delicious, often used on holidays, Tet, and death offerings.
    • You can use five-color sticky rice with silk rolls, roast chicken or other savory dishes as you like.

Part 4: Spice Garden

  • If you have a home garden, grow some pandan leaves, turmeric, and other spices to provide yourself with the ingredients for the five-color sticky rice. Self-cultivation will ensure fresh, clean and safe materials for health.

Conclusion: Making five-color sticky rice is not too difficult but requires meticulousness and patience. From going to the market to choosing ingredients, preliminary processing, cooking to decoration, every step needs care to create sticky rice that is both delicious and beautiful.
