What hits the spot in the morning better than a hot packed handful of sweet sticky rice with muối mè (sesame-sugar-salt mix)? A hot packed handful of sweet sticky rice with soft steamed whole peanuts and muối mè. Xôi đậu – my forbidden childhood love.
$1.50 for a full tummy.
Mom did not want me to eat too much xôi đậu in the past because peanuts are known for producing gas excess.

I loved eating this growing up and would sprinkle a generous amount of the sugar sesame mix over each bite. I’m craving some now.
Me too… there’s no xoi within walking distance from me now 🙁
awwww…xoi! Miss that. I’m all about the shredded coconut varietal…or with a nice handful of cha bong and spooning of mo hanh. A buck fiddy’s still a decent price.
xoi in America can kiss xoi in Saigon ‘s feet. I miss xoi bap the most, there is just no decent xoi bap here.
