Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup black glutinous rice
- 4 cups water
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 0.5 cup palm sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 whole pandan leaf (optional)
- 1 cup fresh mango slices
Instructions
Rinse the black glutinous rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a large saucepan, combine the rinsed black rice with 4 cups of water and bring to a boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 45 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
After 45 minutes, uncover the saucepan and add 1 cup of the coconut milk, 0.5 cup of palm sugar, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt. If using, add the pandan leaf for a fragrant touch.
Continue to simmer uncovered for an additional 30 minutes, stirring frequently until the rice is tender and the mixture thickens, resembling porridge.
Remove the saucepan from heat and discard the pandan leaf, if used. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the pudding to cool slightly before dividing among serving bowls.
Add a drizzle of the remaining 1 cup of coconut milk over the top of each serving.
Garnish with fresh mango slices for an extra burst of flavor.
Serve warm or chilled, depending on your preference.
