Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Rinse the glutinous rice until the water runs clear, then soak it for 1 hour.
  2. Drain the rice and cook it in half the coconut milk over low heat for 20 minutes, stirring often.
  3. Add the rest of the coconut milk, the sugar, salt and vanilla, then keep cooking for 15 minutes, stirring, until the mixture thickens.
  4. Stir in the grated coconut and mix for 2 more minutes.
  5. Oil a square tin and pour in the mixture, smoothing the surface.
  6. Let it cool completely, then unmould and cut into squares.

Variations and tips

Caramelised version. Dry-fry the mixture in a pan for a few minutes before tipping it into the tin, for a deeper golden colour.
