Method

Tap a step once you've finished it.

1. Soak the glutinous rice and the mung beans separately overnight; stir the turmeric into the rice's soaking water.
2. Drain the mung beans, and steam for 25-30 minutes, until completely soft. Mash with a fork and a pinch of salt, then knead into a firm ball. ⏱ Timer: 25 min
3. Drain the rice, mix with half the salt and 1 tbsp oil, and steam for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until soft and sticky. ⏱ Timer: 30 min
4. Fry the shallots in the remaining oil over medium heat until golden and crispy; keep the fragrant oil.
5. Pile the rice into bowls or onto banana leaf, and shave thin flakes off the mung bean ball with a knife on top.
6. Drizzle with the shallot oil, sprinkle with the crispy shallots and a little sugar, and serve warm.

Tips

• Don't boil the sticky rice in water, only steam it, otherwise it turns mushy.
• Can also be made in a rice cooker, with little water, on the sticky rice setting.
