Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams black glutinous rice (black sticky rice)
- 1000 milliliters water
- 100 grams palm sugar (or brown sugar)
- 2 leaves pandan leaves
- 200 milliliters coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- as needed optional sweetened condensed milk or sugar (for topping)
Instructions
Rinse the black glutinous rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in clean water for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This helps reduce the cooking time.
Drain the soaked rice and transfer it to a medium-sized pot. Add 1000 milliliters of water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot partially, and let the rice simmer for about 60-70 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
After the rice has softened and the mixture has thickened, add the palm sugar and pandan leaves. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the pudding reaches your desired consistency.
In a small saucepan, mix the coconut milk with a pinch of salt. Heat over low heat until just warm. Do not boil.
Serve the black sticky rice pudding warm or chilled. Spoon it into bowls and drizzle with the warm coconut milk. Optionally, add a bit of sweetened condensed milk or additional sugar for extra sweetness.
Enjoy this comforting and flavorful dessert!
