Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Glutinous rice flour
- 5 leaves Pandan leaves (or pandan extract)
- 150 ml Water
- 100 grams Palm sugar (gula Melaka), finely chopped
- 100 grams Freshly grated coconut
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
If using fresh pandan leaves, blend them with the water to make pandan juice, then strain to extract the liquid. If using pandan extract, mix 1 teaspoon with water instead.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour with the pandan juice (or pandan water) gradually. Knead until you get a smooth, soft, and pliable dough that doesn't stick to your hands.
Pinch off small portions of the dough (about 1 teaspoon each) and roll them into small balls using your hands.
Flatten each ball into a small disc and place a small piece of finely chopped palm sugar in the center. Wrap the dough around the sugar and seal it completely, rolling it back into a smooth ball. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
In a medium pot, bring water to a boil. Gently drop the filled dough balls into the boiling water, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
Cook the balls for 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and let them drain briefly.
In a separate bowl, mix the freshly grated coconut with a pinch of salt. Roll the cooked balls in the coconut mixture until fully coated.
Serve the Onde Onde warm or at room temperature. Enjoy the burst of sweet palm sugar when you bite into them!
