Vietnamese Red Sticky Rice (Xôi Gấc)

Xoi Gac is a semi-sweet dish made from steamed glutinous rice that has been tossed in coconut milk and naturally colored orange-red from the gac fruit. The color red is symbolic of good fortune in Vietnamese culture, which is why Xoi Gac is mainly served during special occasions such as Lunar New Year, engagements, and weddings.
