Onde-onde
Description
To make onde-onde, glutinous rice flour is combined with pandan juice to form a smooth, pliable dough. Boiling a small piece of the dough tests softness; it’s then mixed back into the main dough to improve texture. The dough rests briefly before shaping.
The palm sugar filling consists of finely chopped Gula Melaka or palm sugar, which gives a rich caramel-like sweetness. Small dough portions are flattened, filled with the sugar, and shaped into balls. Boiling cooks the balls until they float, indicating doneness. Rolling them in salted steamed grated coconut balances the sweetness while adding texture and freshness.
Best served immediately, onde-onde deliver a chewy outer layer with a warm, molten palm sugar center and aromatic pandan flavoring.
Ingredients
- 250 g (8oz) glutinous rice flour
- 200 ml pandan juice
- 100 g (3½ oz) coconut grated
- 1 pinch salt sea salt
- 150 g (5½ oz) palm sugar finely chopped, or Gula Melaka
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour with pandan juice and knead lightly. Pinch off a small piece of the dough (about 40 g or 1½ oz.) and drop it into boiling water.
- When the dough rises to the surface, remove it with a slotted spoon and shake off the excess water. Mix it back into the main dough and knead well until smooth. Cover the dough and let it rest for about 15 minutes.
- Mix the grated coconut with a pinch of salt and steam for about 2 to 3 minutes. Allow it to cool completely.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Take a small piece of dough (about 15 g or ½ oz), flatten it lightly, and fill the center with Gula Melaka or palm sugar. Roll it in your palms to form a smooth ball. Repeat until all the ingredients are used.
- Cook the onde-onde balls in boiling water. Once they float to the surface, remove them with a slotted spoon and shake off any excess water. Coat the onde-onde with grated coconut and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use Gula Melaka (palm sugar) if possible, preferably golden brown and moderately soft for best flavor.
- Steam grated coconut with a pinch of sea salt before coating the cooked balls to enhance flavor.
