Xôi is Vietnamese sticky rice, and the version with chicken is a celebration dish made in a steamer large enough to hold a whole bird and a slab of pork belly. The rice is coloured with annatto, and the whole thing is served in the steamer, so the rice at the top and the rice at the bottom taste different. It is cut with scissors at the table rather than portioned in advance.
