Instructions
Make the cendol (pandan starch jellies):
- Prepare an ice bath by placing ice into a large bowl filled with water.
- Blend together the pandan leaves with the water. Strain the pulp from the pandan leaves and add the liquid to a sauce pan.
- Add in the cornstarch, mung bean starch, wheat starch, sugar, pandan extract and lye water (if using). Turn on the heat to high, and stir the mixture with a spatula.
- Once the mixture starts to thicken, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook until it becomes a translucent paste. Cook for another 2 more minutes.
- Remove from heat and carefully transfer the paste to a potato ricer -- working in batches, squeeze the paste through the ricer over top of the ice bath, ensuring the "cendol noodles" are submerged in the ice water.
- Leave the cendol in the ice water for 15 minutes.
- Drain the cendol and set aside in the refrigerator until ready to assemble.
Make the sugar syrup:
- In a small saucepan, combine the palm sugar and water and heat until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a clean jar and let cool.
Assemble:
- In a large, tall glass, layer cendol, azuki red beans, yellow mung beans, crushed ice, and drizzle with coconut milk and sugar syrup. Serve immediately.
