Directions

  1. Combine the coconut leaves with 1/2 cup of water, then press to extract the juice. ≈ 4 min
  2. Wash the noodles, soak them for about 4 to 6 hours, then drain.
  3. Clean the sieve, pour in the couscous, add 200 ml of water, stir occasionally, and let it rest for about 3 hours so that the couscous softens.
  4. The sticky rice, cooked rice, and pandan leaf juice are cooked over low heat with 100g of sugar until they are tender.
  5. If needed, add a little water. ≈ 3 min
  6. Next, combine everything in a food processor with 1 tablespoon of oil paint and a small amount of orange fragrance (optional, as the pandan juice already provides a flavor). ≈ 3 min
  7. If the mixture seems dry, add a little more oil paint, as the sticky rice and cooked rice can vary in texture. ≈ 3 min
  8. Soft and tender mung beans, steamed and seasoned with a pinch of salt, then finely pureed.
  9. Combine the mung beans with 100g of sugar in a pot, stirring over low heat until the mixture thickens.
  10. Add coconut milk, guava jam, sesame seeds, and essential pomelo oil, and mix well. ≈ 4 min
  11. Let it cool completely, then form small balls, about 50g each.
  12. Divide the sticky rice into portions of approximately 100 grams each. ≈ 3 min
  13. Use 10 x 10 cm molds, filling each mold with the filling. Form a ball, press it into a mold covered with a sheet of aluminum coated with oil paint, then cover with a sheet of plastic coated with oil paint, pressing firmly. Remove the patties and pack them in a thick plastic sheet, folding over the excess plastic to keep them securely closed. ≈ 3 min
