Ingredients
Pudding
- 4 Pandan leaves roughly chopped
- 4 ¼ cups water
- 1 lb peeled taro root cut into 1 cm. Pieces
- ⅔ cup glutinous rice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons tapioca starch
- ¼ cup water
Coconut Topping
- 1 cup coconut milk
- ⅔ cup water
- 4 teaspoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon tapioca starch
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Optional garnishes
- grated coconut
- palm sugar or coconut sugar
Instructions
- Place the chopped pandan and water into a blender and blend for 60-90 seconds until fully pureed. If you have a small blender pitcher, do this in two batches.
- Strain the pandan liquid through a wire mesh strainer into a bowl, discarding the pulp. Press the pulp in the strainer to get as much of the liquid out as possible without pushing any of the pulp through the strainer.
- Steam the taro cubes for 10-12 minutes or until fork tender.
- Meanwhile, mix together the rice, blended pandan water, salt, sugar, vanilla, and tapioca starch in a pot.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes with the lid on.
- Gently fold the steamed taro pieces into the cooked rice. Be careful not to crush the taro while mixing.
- In a saucepan, whisk together the coconut sauce ingredients.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, whisking occasionally, and cook for 4-5 minutes until smooth and thickened.
- Portion the taro pudding into bowls, and top each serving with the coconut sauce. Optionally garnish with freshly grated coconut and palm sugar.

Notes
- Clean pandan leaves meticulously before blending. Strain the liquid through a fine mesh or cloth to remove any particles, ensuring a pure infusion.
- Cook glutinous rice to a tender, slightly chewy texture for a harmonious blend of flavors and textures in your pudding.
- Gentle Integration: When adding steamed taro to cooked rice, fold them gently to maintain their integrity within the mixture. You want little pieces throughout the rice pudding.
