thank you so much for this recipe! i’m from CA where vietnamese food abounds, but i’m now living on the east coast where mom’s home cooking and little saigon are lacking. my mom freezes xoi vo for me to fly back with whenever i come home to visit, but now with your recipe, i can try to make this dish on my own! i also love your bi chay recipe, another dish which my mom freezes for me to bring back. thanks for a great blog and for highlighting vietnamese food!

does anyone have any idea what the caloric count (or some nutrition facts of any sort) might be at all for this dish? it’s one of my favorites to buy in chinatown but i have a feeling it’s pretty dense.. :/

back in the 60′s & early 70′s, in a restaurant in Cholon, VN; Xoi Vo was served as a complement for roast chicken. I finally figure out how to make the roast chicken taste similar to the one from the restaurant; now, thanks, I can make xoi vo to go with it. Mm Mm

“Little fun beans of joy” LOL.

The recipe looks wonderful. I love these kinds of foods — at least I think so; it all just sounds good and definitely comforting. I grew up eating chicken fried steak and gravy as comfort foods. Not my cup of tea these days. More lol.

Oh my god! I love rice! I gotta check this one out. Rice is my comfort food, with some cut up chicken and egg. To die for!

Oh yum!! We make a similar savory dish in India and it’s called ‘kichidi’ in the North and ‘pongal’ in South India. Pongal is made during the harvest festival and there are two versions made-the sweet and the savory. I used to love the sweet version as a kid,but now have acquired a taste for the savory version too
As far as comfort food-nothing to beat a plate of steaming rice with dal(and a dollop of ghee) and some veg curry!!
