Ingredients

- ¼ cup shredded young coconut
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 3 tbsp roasted sesame seeds
- 1-2 tbsp sugar
Instructions
- Wash 2 cups of sticky rice and soak in water for at least 3 hours or better overnight.
- Drain and transfer to a rice cooker. Add salt, pandan extract, shredded young coconut, and coconut milk. Give it a good stir/ toss.
- Cook in the rice cooker until done. If the sticky rice isn't cooked through at the first attempt, fluff with chopsticks and cover the rice with a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Press the “cook” button to cook one more time.
- Crush the roasted sesame in a mortar and pestle. Then mix with sugar and salt.
