White rice is an anchor for daily meals in Vietnam. It is either used a satisfying, starchy filler or to balance meat and vegetable dishes. In poorer regions of Vietnam, rice is eaten in sizable amounts with salty dishes in order to compensate the lack of food. However, it can be used for special dishes such as fried rice, rice porridge or congee, and rice flour is the main ingredient for many Vietnamese tasty cakes.
There are number of rice varieties used in Vietnamese dishes:
Kitchenaid Food Processor
Jasmine Rice: It is a long-grain variety of rice that has a nutty aroma and a subtle pandan-like flavor. Jasmine rice is originally from Thailand and the most commonly used in daily meals.
Black sticky rice (Xoi Nep Than): This grain is typically long and grounded. It is commonly used for sweet puddings, but also commonly found in xoi, which is a dish of steamed rice that may be served as a main dish or sweet. As a savory main dish, it might accompanied by pork pâté, or dried shredded pork. The rice has its own unique flavor, when you steam it covered in pandan leaves, the leaves perfume the rice with a very dense, organic aroma.
Sticky White Rice (also called Glutinous rice): This grain is typically short and rounded. It is usually found in the form of xoi, served savory or sweet. Sticky rice is also a main ingredient for Banh Chung, Banh Tet, specially cakes eaten during the Lunar New Year. In its sweet form, sticky rice flour is also used to make cakes, dyed red and sweetened for weddings and enagement parties to symbolize the stickiness of the newly wed couples.
Young rice (Com): This grain is typically very light in weight, almost like flakes and has a delicate celadon color. Young rice is eaten by itself steamed, wrapped in banana leaves, or added to savory and sweet dishes such as 'che'.

Christmas Sales Cuisinart DLC-2ABC Mini-Prep Plus Food Processor, Brushed Chrome Overview
Powerful, versatile, and blessed with sleek good looks, this processor packs a lot into a small package. The 3-cup workbowl is convenient for many prep tasks and the exclusive SmartPower Blade auto-reverses to chop or grind at your command. Unlike larger models, this machine takes up very little counterspace, so leave it out to help you with daily meal prep like chopping onions, making garden fresh salsas and more.This little 250-watt workhorse comes in handy when a full-size food processor is unnecessary. The 3-cup work bowl is just right for making pesto or a salad dressing, and two receptacles in the lid have pinholes for one or two oils to stream into the bowl while the processor is blending a perfect emulsion. It's also ideal for chopping and grinding. Pressing the "chop" button deploys the sharp edge of Cuisinart's patented reversible blade to chop onions, herbs, or bread crumbs. Pressing the "grind" button whirls the blade in the other direction so its blunt side can grind nuts, coffee beans, or cheese. Compact at just 9 inches high and lightweight (it has a plastic body), the Mini Prep Plus can be tucked away in a cabinet, and the little spatula accompanying it goes into a drawer. It carries an 18-month warranty against defects. The plastic work bowl and lid are dishwasher-safe, but the stainless-steel blade should be hand washed to protect its edges. --Fred BrackChristmas Sales Cuisinart DLC-2ABC Mini-Prep Plus Food Processor, Brushed Chrome Specifications
