Xoi man – savory sticky rice with sausage and egg Recipe
Xoi man is a hearty breakfast dish from northern Vietnam: sticky rice served with slices of Vietnamese sausage, egg, and fried shallots. It’s the equivalent of a “breakfast of champions” – after a bowl like this you can easily work for half a day. The flavor is salty-umami, with a light sweetness from the rice and crunchy fried onions on top.

Ingredients
- sticky rice soaked - 400 g
- Vietnamese sausage cha lua or another mild sausage - 200 g
- egg 2 for serving, 1 for the rice - 3 piece
- onion thinly sliced into feathers - 1 piece
- vegetable oil for frying - 4 tablespoons
- soy sauce for seasoning the rice - 2 tablespoons
- fish sauce - 1 tablespoon
- sugar - 1 teaspoon
- chives chopped - 0.5 bunch
- cucumber sliced for serving - 1 piece
- salt for cooking the rice - 0.5 teaspoons
Main Ingredient:
glutinous rice
Preparation
- Rinse the sticky rice several times until the water is almost clear, then soak it in cold water for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight. Drain before cooking.
- Steam the rice: line a sieve or steamer insert with cheesecloth or a thin kitchen towel, add the rice, sprinkle with salt, and steam over boiling water for 25–30 minutes, until the grains are soft and slightly sticky.
- Meanwhile, slice the onion into very thin feathers. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat, add the onion and fry for 8–10 minutes, stirring often, until golden and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel.
- Slice the sausage into thin rounds. In the same pan, fry it for 3–4 minutes until lightly browned.
- In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, fish sauce, and sugar. Beat the egg in a separate small bowl.
- Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl, add the beaten egg and mix quickly so the egg coats the grains evenly and sets slightly from the heat.
- Add the soy and fish sauce mixture and gently mix, taking care not to mash the rice.
- In a separate pan, fry 2 eggs sunny-side up, keeping the yolks runny.
- Divide the rice between bowls, top with sausage slices and a fried egg, then sprinkle with fried onions and chives.
- Serve with cucumber slices on the side.

Freezing:

Store leftover sticky rice in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a steamer or in a covered dish in the microwave with a splash of water so it doesn’t dry out. Fry fresh eggs and onions just before serving for the best texture.
