Sa tutuo lang medyo nahirapan ako sa dough dahil dumidikit ito sa kamay ko everytime I tried to flatten it. Yon pala medyo sumobra lang ang tubig kaya ito basa. Basically, it is very easy to do pero siguro ganun lang talaga kapag first timer pa. It’s like as if you are experimenting. Tiyaga lang talaga ang kailangan. Here’s the result of what I made.

 

 

The recipe:

Ingredients:

500 gram glutinous rice flour

3/4 cup water

coconut flakes

white sugar

sesame seeds (toasted)

Mix rice flour with water to make dough. Make little balls then flatten. Boil water in a saucepan. Drop flattened dough balls into boiling water. The cakes are cooked when they float. Remove from water, let cool a little bit, roll in combined sugar and toasted sesame seeds and coconut flakes.

Buko Pandan

Servings: 8

Ingredients: (you can buy all ingredients in any asian store / alle Zutaten sind im Asia Laden erhältlich)

4 packs frozen young coconut (buko – junge Kokosnuss)
1 packet green Agar-Agar powder or gelatine
2 tsps. pandan flavouring
2 tsps. Lye Water
1 can sweetened milk
1 cup whip cream (1 Becher frische Schlagsahne)
250 gram sugar

Procedure:

First of all, you have to defrost buko before you start preparing the rest of the recipe. Dissolve Agar-Agar powder in 1 ½ litre of water. Add 250g sugar, stir and bring to boil over low heat. Add lye water and pandan flavour and stir well. Pour into a shallow pan and allow to cool.

Pour sweetened milk and whip cream into a large deep bowl and toss to blend well. Cut chilled Agar-Agar into cubes. Then add buko and Agar-Agar cubes into the mixture and chill before serving.

P.S

To those who are having difficulties finding frozen young coconut, here’s the picture of the said product. Meron ding nasa nasa lata but it taste nothing so you’d better ask the store owner if they can order the frozen one for you. It’s imported from Thailand.
