About xôi cốm

Cốm is young sticky rice, harvested in autumn, roasted and hand-pounded in Làng Vòng, on the outskirts of Hanoi. It tastes best eaten the same day, usually wrapped in lotus leaf to hold the aroma.

Xôi cốm is cốm steamed again with mung bean and grated coconut. It is a seasonal dish, sold in Hanoi roughly from the 8th to the 10th lunar month.
