Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Rice flour
- 800 milliliters Coconut milk
- 200 milliliters Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 150 grams Palm sugar
- 1 leaf Pandan leaf
- 100 milliliters Water (for syrup)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the rice flour and 200 milliliters of water. Stir until smooth and there are no lumps. Set aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the coconut milk to a gentle simmer. Add the salt and stir well.
Gradually pour the rice flour mixture into the saucepan with the simmering coconut milk, stirring constantly to avoid clumps forming.
Continue stirring until the mixture thickens into a smooth, creamy consistency. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once done, remove from heat and set aside.
To make the palm sugar syrup, combine the palm sugar, 100 milliliters of water, and the pandan leaf in a separate saucepan over medium heat.
Stir until the palm sugar has completely dissolved and the syrup slightly thickens. This should take about 5 minutes. Discard the pandan leaf once the syrup is ready.
To serve, spoon the warm rice pudding into individual bowls. Drizzle the palm sugar syrup generously over the top.
Enjoy Bubur Sum Sum warm, or let it cool to room temperature before serving.
