Method
Preparation of Ingredients
- 1
Rinse the Rice
In a large bowl, rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming too sticky.
- 2
Soak the Rice
Soak the rinsed glutinous rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. This helps the rice cook evenly and become tender.
- 3
Prepare the Taro
Peel the taro root and cut it into small cubes (about 1-inch pieces).
Cooking
- 4
Steam the Taro
In a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth or parchment paper, steam the cubed taro for about 15-20 minutes, until they are fork-tender.
- 5
Cook the Rice
Drain the soaked rice and place it in a pot with 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked and water is absorbed.
- 6
Combine Rice and Coconut Milk
Once the rice is cooked, add the coconut milk, salt, and sugar to the pot. Stir gently to combine. Let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- 7
Add Taro to Rice
Gently fold the steamed taro cubes into the coconut rice mixture until evenly distributed.
