This easy recipe for Rice Pudding with Black-Eyed Peas (Che Dau Trang) is a classic Vietnamese dessert and at the top of everyone’s list. The combination of sticky rice and black-eyed peas cooked into a thick and gooey pudding is so scrumptious. What I love about this recipe is it’s lighter than traditional recipes which often instruct cooking the rice and peas in a soup of coconut milk. I find this a bit too rich and make a creamy coconut topping to serve on the side. So, add as much or as little coconut sauce as you’d like to your Rice Pudding with Black-Eyed Peas. Like all the great-tasting foods that are heavy and fattening, moderation is the key. Enjoy! 🙂

Rice Pudding with Black-Eyed Peas and Coconut Milk (Che Dau Trang) - Classic Viet Dessert | recipe from runawayrice.com

Ingredients Rice Pudding 15 oz can black-eyed peas 2 Tbsp + 1/2 cup sugar 3 3/4 cups water 3/4 cup long-grain glutinous rice/sweet rice 1 1/2 Tbsp tapioca starch + 2 Tbsp water 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Coconut Milk Topping 5.6 oz can coconut milk 3/4 can water (1/2 cup) 1 Tbsp sugar 1/8 tsp salt 1 Tbsp tapioca starch

Directions

Making the Rice Pudding with Black-Eyed Peas

Drain the black-eyed peas and then rinse until water is clear, approximately 3 times. Shake off the excess water. Use a paring knife to shell the peas and discard any tough outer skin. (The skin can be a bit fibrous and removing it will make the beans taste creamier.) Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring to a rapid boil. Add the black-eyed peas and blanch for 10 seconds. Scoop out the peas using a slotted spoon and place into a small bowl. Add 2 Tbsp sugar to peas and toss together. Set aside for now.

Add 3 3/4 cups water into a medium saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil.

Wash and rinse the glutinous rice twice. Add the rice to the boiling water and stir together. Cover the pot leaving a slight opening. Set the heat to Medium and cook the rice for 15-20 minutes. Occasionally, stir the rice a few times to prevent it from sticking or clumping together.

In a small bowl, combine the tapioca starch and water and stir until smooth.

Uncover the pot, add the peas to the rice and stir together. Add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and combine well. Stir the tapioca starch and water mixture again and then add to the pudding along with the vanilla extract. Stir together well. Simmer on low for another 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat.

Making the Coconut Milk Topping

In a small saucepan, add the coconut milk. Pour water into the coconut milk can filling it 3/4 full. Pour the water into the saucepan. Add the sugar, salt and tapioca starch. Whisk together until well blended. Cook the coconut milk mixture over Medium heat, stir constantly until it starts to thicken, approximately 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Serve the Rice Pudding with Black-Eyed Peas topped with the coconut milk. Enjoy hot or cold.

Refrigerate any remaining pudding. Enjoy within the week.

Yields: 4 servings

  6. Thank you for sharing your recipe. I made this tonight and followed your instructions exactly. I found that 3 3/4 cups of water added to the rice wasn’t enough. After it was set and done, it was very thick :(. I will add more water next time I make it

    1. Hi Khang, Definitely add more water if you want it less thick. Keep in mind that boiling over higher heat or not covering the pot could also cause more water to evaporate. Appreciate you stopping by to share your results. 🙂

    1. Hi Van, glad to hear it! It’s probably not as sweet as Mom’s recipe. I cut back on the sugar a bit. Thanks for stopping by!
