Ingredients
- 2 cups glutinous rice - washed and drained
- 1 cup canned coconut milk
- 1 cup water
- 2 pieces Pandan leaves cut into 4
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 cups squash cut into cubes
- 1 can coconut cream for latik
Instructions
- Make latik curds and set aside.
- Generously grease an 8x8-inch square pan with oil or line a 8 inch bilao with banana leaves greased with a bit of oil.
- In a large pot over medium heat, mix together the 1 cup coconut milk and 1cup water. Add the glutinous rice and pandan leaves. Bring to a simmer then turn heat to low and cover. Let it cook until all liquids are absorbed. The rice should only be almost cooked at this point.
- While waiting, add squash and 2 cups coconut milk on a large pan or pot and cook over medium heat until fork tender. Use potato masher or wooden fork to mash into a puree.
- Add the light brown sugar and cook while constantly stirring until thick.
- Add the cooked rice without the pandan leaves to the pan of squash sauce. Gently fold the sticky rice and the squash sauce until completely coated.
- Cook further while stirring from time to time until the rice completely absorbs the sauce and the rice is fully cooked.
- Transfer the rice into the greased pan or bilao and spread out evenly.
- Cut into serving size and top with latik and serve.
