Sticky rice with black-eye beans dessert



To be served with coconut milk...

Che dau trang, in Vietnamese, this kind of sweet can be found at any time of the day in markets of VN together with other Vnese sweets, cold or warm. Most of sweets in Vnese are called "che", and usually are made with beans.

The green leaves on the top is to give the pleasant smell to it...Some like to eat this without coconut milk, but since it is from the South, where coconut is one of the main fruit, tree, most of the dishes in the South are usually cooked with coconut milk. I, personally prefer to have a lot of coconut milk served with it on the top ;-)

...And only the South produces good dessert because of their tendance in making foods with sweet flavour.

I often use brown sugar or cassonade in my cooking, especially for desserts, since my uncle loves sweets, and he is kinda old ;-), so everything has to be in controlled. At his age he could get diabetic, not so nice for a person who loves eating. But for this dessert, the colour should be brown anyway due to the beans, so perfect ;-)
