Ingredients

  • 1 cup glutinous rice -washed and drained
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 can coconut milk - 400ml
  • 1 can whole corn kernel - 425g (do not drain)
  • ¼ cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 can coconut cream - 400ml
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence - optional

Instructions

  • Put ½ cup of coconut cream aside to be used for later.
  • In a pot, combine the glutinous rice, coconut milk, and water and bring to boil over high heat. 
  • Once it boils, lower heat to low and let it simmer covered with a lid for about 10-12 minutes or until the rice has expanded and is almost cooked. Remember to stir from time to time to prevent the rice from sticking to the pot. 
  • Add the whole corn kernel including the liquids from the can and the coconut cream left in the can. Stir well. Add the sugar (See Note 1). 
  • Continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes or until the glutinous rice is soft and cooked through.
  • Add vanilla essence if desired and give it a good last mix before turning off the heat. 
  • Transfer to serving bowls while still warm and spoon some of the coconut cream, that was set aside earlier, on top.

Notes

Note 1 - I used only ¼ cup of sugar which is less than most other recipes since I personally do not like it too sweet. You may add more according to your preference and also keep in mind that as it cools down, it gets lesser sweet too.
