Ingredients
- 1 cup black sticky rice
- 3 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/2 cup toasted coconut flakes optional
Instructions
- Rinse the black sticky rice under cool water and drain.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the drained rice with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Stir, cover, and simmer for about 35 minutes, until the rice is soft and the water has reduced.
- Add the sugar, salt, and unsweetened coconut milk to the cooked rice. Continue to simmer for another 10-20 minutes until the mixture thickens to a creamy pudding consistency. Adjust with a little extra water if too thick. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Spoon the pudding into serving bowls. If desired, drizzle a little extra coconut milk over the top and sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes. Serve warm and enjoy.
