Xôi () is a traditional Vietnamese dish of sticky rice.
With a history tracing back to Tai tribes in Southeast Asia, sticky rice became a staple crop in Vietnam partly due to the region's suitability for its growth. While somewhat replaced by other forms of rice which are easier to grow, it is still eaten in the modern era, prepared in a variety of different ways.
