Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 200 g (7 oz) black sticky glutinous rice
- 5 cups water
- 2 pandan leaves tie them into a knot
- Sugar to taste
- 1 cup coconut milk mix well
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Add the black rice to a pot and rinse it thoroughly with water until the water runs clear. Note that the rice will still appear black or purple, but the water should be clear. Drain the water completely.
- Add water and pandan leaves to the rice. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil over medium to low heat for about 60 minutes. Lower the heat to simmer and continue cooking until the rice is soft and breaks apart. Keep checking the water level and add more water as needed to cook the black sticky rice. Add sugar to taste and stir to combine well.
- While the rice is cooking, prepare the coconut milk mixture. Heat the coconut milk over low heat and add salt. Stir well and set aside.
- Serve the black sticky rice dessert in small bowls and top each serving with a spoonful of coconut milk. For a creamier texture, add more coconut milk. Stir well before eating.
