Chè đậu trắng (Sweet Sticky Rice with Black-Eyed Peas)

Instructions

1. 1Place the 1 cup of sticky rice and the 1/2 cup of black-eyed peas in a large bowl. Cover them with water and let them soak for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
2. 2Drain the soaked sticky rice and black-eyed peas thoroughly. Transfer them to a large, heavy-bottomed pot.
3. 3Add the 2 cans of coconut milk, the 1/2 cup of sugar, and the 1/4 tsp of salt to the pot with the rice and peas. Stir everything together until the sugar is dissolved.
4. 4Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 1 hour. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. The rice and peas are done when they are soft and the liquid has thickened.
5. 5Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the 1 tsp of vanilla extract until it is well combined.
6. 6Serve the chè đậu trắng warm or cold. It can be enjoyed on its own.
