Xoi xeo is Hanoi's breakfast turmeric sticky rice: golden glutinous rice topped with mashed mung bean, fried shallots and a choice of caramel pork.
Xoi xeo and other sticky-rice dishes are an ancient Northern Vietnamese tradition, eaten as breakfast or as a between-meal snack from street stalls. The dish layers turmeric-stained glutinous rice with mashed mung bean and crispy fried shallots. Xoi Yen on Nguyen Huu Huan has anchored the Old Quarter's xoi tradition for decades, with a counter open from 05:00 to 01:00 the next morning.
