Directions for cooking sweetened sticky rice
- Soak the sticky rice in water and scrub the rice with alum, then soak the cleaned rice for 3-5 hours or overnight. After soaking, rinse the rice thoroughly and steam it for about 30 minutes. Once cooked, remove from heat and transfer the rice to a mixing bowl.
- Mix thick coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a bowl, stirring until the mixture is well blended. Strain the mixture through a sieve or thin cloth, then bring the coconut milk to a boil over medium heat.
- Add the cooked coconut milk in the bowl of steamed sticky rice and mix thoroughly. Cover the bowl and let it sit for 20 minutes to allow the rice to absorb the coconut milk. Use a spatula to gently stir, ensuring the sticky rice remains separate and does not clump together.
Directions for making durian sauce
Mix thick coconut milk with coconut water, coconut sugar, and salt. Pour the mixture into a container and heat over medium heat, adding pandan leaves. Stir continuously to prevent the coconut milk from separating into lumps, ensuring a smooth, creamy consistency. Once smooth, add durian flesh, then turn off the heat. Serve the durian coconut sauce with sweetened sticky rice.
The food characteristics: The sweetened sticky rice is soft and sticky, with shiny, beautiful grains. It has a sweet, creamy taste from the coconut milk, complemented by the fragrant aroma of durian.
