ideas and ideas notes
- You must use candy rice/sticky rice/glutinous rice for this recipe solely. please don’t do it with every other rice. you could find it within the Asian aisle of your grocery store or order it on-line.
- The coconut cream needs to be an excellent stability between candy and salty. you possibly can regulate the salt and sugar to style.
- serve this dessert instantly. it’s best to eat it hours after making it.
- I’ve given directions for each the stovetop, which is the standard manner, and the Instantaneous Pot. I believe each are nice. if you’ll steam it, it is best to put together it forward of time and soak it in a single day. the Instantaneous Pot is quicker, I perceive it is not the standard manner.
