Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Glutinous Rice

Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

2

Steam the Rice

Drain the soaked rice and place it in a steamer lined with cheesecloth. Steam for about 30-40 minutes until the rice is cooked and sticky.

3

Prepare Coconut Mixture

In a saucepan, mix the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves, but do not boil.

4

Combine Rice and Coconut Mixture

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Pour half of the coconut mixture over the rice and mix well. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

5

Layer with Durian

In a serving dish, layer the sticky rice and durian flesh. Top with the remaining coconut mixture.

6

Serve

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Pulut Durian!
