Five-Color Sticky Rice (Xôi Ngũ Sắc) with Green Bean Paste — Variant 5 (Cake-Shaped)

Step 1: Glutinous rice is cleaned and soaked with the leafy (colored) water overnight. Then drain through cold water. Step 2: Stir a little salt into the sticky rice and pineapple leaves. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the sticky rice to the steaming bowl for 25 minutes, until just cooked. Step 3: Mix coconut milk and sugar in a pan or pot. Add the hot sticky rice to the mixture. Over the heat, gently stir until the coconut water is absorbed into the rice, so it looks beautiful and not broken. This makes the sticky rice delicious and keeps it soft for a long time. Give the sticky rice into a round mold shaped like a cake. Step 4: Green beans, soaked overnight, are cleaned. Add them to a pot with 350ml of water and cook on medium heat until the water is dry and the beans are cooked. Add the hot green beans, sugar and salt to a blender. Pour the green beans into a non-stick pan and cook over low heat until blended into a smooth paste, then turn off the stove. Note: To make green leaves for decoration, add some green tea powder to the mix with some of the green beans. Step 5: Put the sticky rice onto a plate. To decorate, put the green bean paste into an icing bag with a rose tip and gently pipe roses, like decorating a rose cake.

Wish you success and appetite with this way of making sticky rice with green bean paste!
