Easy Sweet Rice Breakfast

Every year after a big Thanksgiving meal, the next day I want to relax and prepare a simple breakfast for my family. It is now time to showcase a Vietnamese breakfast, which is sticky rice with peanuts or beans. A Crock-Pot® will save time cooking the peanuts or any kind of beans, which is added with sweet rice. When my family gets together, we want to spend as much time as possible catching up with things going on in the family, especially because we live in different states. Therefore, the morning after Thanksgiving is a good time just for sharing the latest news.

Ingredients:
1 cup dry peanuts
1 cup dry black beans
1 tsp salt
4 cups sweet rice, soaked-overnight
1/2 cup shredded coconuts
1/4 cup roasted sesame seeds

Directions:
In separate 4 quart Crock-Pots, place peanuts and black beans. Fill Crock-Pots with water and salt. Turn to low heat and let it slow cook overnight.
In the morning, use a sieve to drain the cooked peanuts and black beans.

Use a sieve to drain the soaked sweet rice.

 Divide the sweet rice equally into two bowls. Mix the sweet rice in one bowl with peanuts and the other with black beans.

In a large steamer over high heat, steam the sweet rice with peanuts for 20 minutes. Remove. Then steam the sweet rice with black beans for 20 minutes. Serve with shredded coconuts and roasted sesame seeds.
