Xoi bap is a sweet and savory sticky rice that we love to eat. In the street corners of Vietnam, students and workers alike, scurry to grab a hot serving of xoi bap wrapped in banana leaves before rushing off to school or work. Unwrapping the banana leaves reveal a great mixture of sticky rice, subtly sweet hominy (bap means corn), mung beans, topped with fried shallots and sugar. Both sweet and savory, we think it's not just for great for breakfast but good anytime of day. In this case, the banana leaves are used more as a serving vessel and not essential to the recipe.
