Ingredients

400 gram white sticky (glutinous) rice
25 ml hot water
250 ml coconut milk
200 gram Bali Nutra Coconut Syrup
3 pandan leaves (Indonesian: daun pandan)


Method
1. Steam rice for 20 minutes then sprinkle the rice with the 25 ml of hot water. Continue steaming for another 20 minutes.

2. Add coconut milk, coconut syrup and pandan leaves to a boil in a pot. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes and stir. Strain and return the strained liquid to the pot.

3. Once the rice has finished steaming, add the rice to the pot containing the palm sugar liquid. Cook on low heat, stir until the liquid is fully absorbed by the rice and is somewhat dry.

4. Prepare a baking tray with cling film, then pour the rice into the tray. Press to flatten the rice as best as you can. Let it cool at room temperature, this should take about up to 2 hours. Once it has cooled it is ready to eat. Just cut and serve.
