Ingredients

1 cup Black glutinous rice

Cold water

1/4 teaspoon Salt

1 cup Freshly grated coconut

2 tablespoons Sesame seeds

4 tablespoons Palm sugar or dark brown sugar

Preparation

Wash rice well and soak in cold water overnight. Drain the rice and place in a perforated steamer.

While the rice steams, grate the coconut and toast the sesame seeds.

Toast the seeds in a dry frying pan over medium heat, stirring or shaking the pan to brown the seeds evenly. As soon as they are deep golden brown, turn them onto a plate. Bruise lightly together with the sea salt. Serve the rice warm or at room temperature, with sesame seeds, coconut and palm sugar.
