There's no doubt that Xoi Xeo is delicious and simple to prepare. This dish, on the other hand, takes a long time to prepare. You'll have to start working as soon as you choose sticky rice and green beans. The cook must select a high-quality sticky yellow blossom. Then take it up, soak it for about 5 hours in warm water, season it with salt, put it in the saucepan, and cook it. Onions are cut, sun-dried, and fried in a pan of lard. The fat from the chicken is cooked and then poured into a bowl. On the other hand, the sticky rice and mung beans only need to be warmed in the microwave for approximately a minute.
