Ingredients for Making Pandan Sticky Rice
Instructions for Preparing Pandan Sticky Rice
Preparing Pandan Leaves
Clean the pandan leaves thoroughly, then select the freshest ones and place them in a basket to take to cook. Put a pot on the stove, add about 400ml of water to the pot, turn on high heat, and wait for the water in the pot to boil before adding the pandan leaves.
Reduce the heat to low and cook for about 10 - 15 minutes until the water in the pot turns purple, then add 200ml of filtered water to the pot. Continue cooking for about 10 - 15 minutes over medium heat until the water in the pot boils, then turn off the heat. Use a strainer to filter out the pandan leaf water.
2. Soaking the Glutinous Rice
Soak the cleaned glutinous rice in water, then drain. Pour 600ml of pandan leaf water into a bowl, add the drained rice, mix well, and soak for about 2 hours for the pandan leaf water to penetrate the rice grains.
Afterward, drain the excess water, add about 1 teaspoon of salt to the glutinous rice, mix well, and steam.
3. Steaming the Sticky Rice
Put a pot on the stove, add about 3 liters of water to the pot, then add a bunch of pandan leaves to the pot to make the sticky rice more fragrant. Then, heat up the steamer before transferring the rice.
Mix a small cup containing 120ml of coconut milk and 100g of sugar, use a spoon to stir well until the sugar dissolves to enhance the richness of the sticky rice.
When the water in the sticky rice pot is boiling, slowly pour the glutinous rice in, cover, and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. Afterward, add the cup of coconut milk, stir the rice grains evenly with chopsticks, cover again, and simmer for an additional 10 minutes before serving.
4. Finished Product
The sticky rice emits the distinctive fragrance of pandan leaves. The grains are glossy and smooth. When eaten, you'll feel the chewiness of the rice combined with the rich creaminess of the coconut milk. You can sprinkle a bit of sesame salt to balance the sweetness and prevent it from becoming too cloying.
