Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup glutinous rice
- 4 cups water
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1 cup sweet corn kernels (canned or fresh)
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Rinse the glutinous rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
In a medium-sized pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.
Add the rinsed glutinous rice to the boiling water. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the rice begins to soften (around 10 minutes), lower the heat to a simmer and pour in the coconut milk. Stir to combine.
Add the sweet corn kernels, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Simmer the mixture for approximately 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender, the corn is fully cooked, and the mixture has thickened to a porridge-like consistency.
Stir in the vanilla extract during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking for added flavor.
Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly before serving. The mixture will continue to thicken as it cools.
Serve warm in bowls as a comforting snack or dessert. Optionally, you can drizzle a bit of coconut cream on top for extra richness.
