Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Soak the Rice

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    Drain the soaked rice and place it in a pot. Add 4 cups of water and pandan leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for about 45 minutes or until the rice is tender.

  3. 3

    Prepare Coconut Sauce

    In a separate saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves. Do not boil.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Once the rice is cooked, remove from heat and discard the pandan leaves. Serve the pulut hitam warm with the coconut sauce drizzled over the top.
