Ingredients
- 5 pandan leaves
- 1 cup water
- 1 ¾ cup glutinous rice flour
- 3 tablespoons tapioca starch
- 4 teaspoons sugar
- ½ cup palm sugar
- 1 ½ cup coconut 150 g soft shredded or freshly grated meat
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Coconut coating: Mix together the grated coconut and salt.
- Prep the pandan: Wash and cut the pandan leaves into small pieces.
- Make the pandan juice: Blend the pandan leaves with 200 ml of water until you get a vibrant green pandan juice. Strain the juice through a fine sieve, discarding the solid pulp.
- Make the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour and tapioca flour. Gradually add the pandan juice while mixing, until you achieve a smooth and slightly sticky dough.
- Assemble the Ondeh Ondeh: Take a 4 teaspoon-size piece of the pandan dough and roll it into a ball, before flattening it in your palm.
- Fill: Place 1 teaspoon of palm sugar in the center and gently wrap the dough around it, forming a ball.
- Roll: Ensure the ball is well-sealed and roll it between your hands to smooth out any creases. Repeat forming the ondeh ondeh until all dough is used up.
- Boil: Cook the ondeh ondeh in a pot of boiling water over medium heat for 10-12 minutes or until the sugar is melted, and the dumplings have risen to the surface.
- Coat: Use a slotted spoon or spider to remove all of the cooked dumplings. Roll each glutinous rice ball in the coconut mixture, ensuring an even coating.

Notes
- Getting Your Dough Right: THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. Keep in mind, your panda juice will always yield a slightly different amount of liquid, based on how fresh and how large the leaves are, and how well your blender works. Therefore, you may need to tweak the dough a little. What you are looking for is a dough consistency that holds shape. A flattened ball of dough shouldn’t start to “melt” in your hand, and it also shouldn’t be so dry it cracks. Add a little extra glutinous rice flour or a tiny sprinkle of water as needed to get the dough to hold its shape without breaking.
- Pandan Juice Prep: Blend pandan leaves until smooth and vibrant. Cut leaves against the grain before blending for easier blending. Strain well for a clean infusion, adding iconic green hue and aroma to dough.
- Dough Tips: Keep hands slightly damp while shaping dough to prevent excessive sticking and ensure smooth handling.
- Secure Sealing: Assemble Ondeh Ondeh with care for proper sealing. Thoughtful sealing keeps the sweet surprise intact during cooking.
- Gentle Boiling: Simmer water, don't vigorously boil, for even cooking, graceful rising, and proper sugar melting.
- Coconut Coating: Roll damp Ondeh Ondeh in coconut while fresh from boiling. This ensures a flawless, flavorful, and textured coating.
