Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 g Mung bean flour
- 10 leaves Pandan leaves
- 400 ml Water
- 0.5 tsp Green food coloring
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 200 g Palm sugar
- 500 ml Coconut milk
- 200 g Ice cubes
- 100 ml Water (for syrup)
Instructions
Prepare the pandan extract by blending pandan leaves with 400 ml of water, strain the liquid, and set aside.
In a pot, combine mung bean flour, pandan extract,½ tsp of salt, and green food coloring. Stir well to dissolve the flour.
Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and forms a dough-like consistency for about 10-15 minutes.
Prepare a large bowl with icy water. Pour the dough into a cendol or perforated mold and press it over the cold water to create noodle shapes. Let them set in the water.
For the syrup, melt the palm sugar in a saucepan with 100 ml of water. Stir until dissolved, then strain to remove impurities.
In another saucepan, heat the coconut milk with a pinch of salt until warm. Do not boil.
To serve, place a generous amount of cendol noodles into a serving glass. Add palm sugar syrup and then the coconut milk.
Top with ice cubes and stir before serving for a refreshing experience.
