Black Rice (Black Sticky Rice)
Description
This dessert begins by rinsing glutinous black rice thoroughly until the water runs clear to remove excess starch while retaining the rice's dark color. The rice is cooked in water with knotted pandan leaves to infuse an aromatic note during about an hour of boiling and simmering until the grains soften and begin to break down.
Adding sugar during cooking sweetens the rice, creating sticky, tender grains with a mild natural sweetness and slight chewiness. Separately, coconut milk is gently warmed with a pinch of salt to balance richness and seasoning. The rice is served in small bowls topped with spoonfuls of the coconut milk, which can be stirred in to add creaminess.
Its unique purple-black hue and combination of pandan aroma, sweetened black rice, and salted coconut milk create a textured dessert with subtle contrasts suitable for a light finish to a meal or a snack.
Ingredients
- 200 g (7 oz) glutinous rice black sticky
- 5 cups water
- 2 pandan leaves tie them into a knot
- sugar to taste
- 1 cup coconut milk mix well
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Add the black rice to a pot and rinse it thoroughly with water until the water runs clear. Note that the rice will still appear black or purple, but the water should be clear. Drain the water completely.
- Add water and pandan leaves to the rice. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil over medium to low heat for about 60 minutes. Lower the heat to simmer and continue cooking until the rice is soft and breaks apart. Keep checking the water level and add more water as needed to cook the black sticky rice. Add sugar to taste and stir to combine well.
- While the rice is cooking, prepare the coconut milk mixture. Heat the coconut milk over low heat and add salt. Stir well and set aside.
- Serve the black sticky rice dessert in small bowls and top each serving with a spoonful of coconut milk. For a creamier texture, add more coconut milk. Stir well before eating.
