Method

  1. 1 Steam the pumpkin, then mash it and mix it with some glutinous rice flour to form a yellow dough.
  2. 2 Knead the remaining dough with the pandan leaf water until it forms a green mass.
  3. 3 Shape the two blocks into small balls about 1 cm in diameter, then boil them until the balls float to the surface.
  4. 4 Remove the balls and immediately place them in cold water to prevent them from sticking together.
  5. 5 Simmer the coconut milk with palm sugar, pandan leaves, and salt, but do not let it boil vigorously.
  6. 6 Drop the meatballs in, then crack an egg into the pot and turn off the heat to let the egg set into strands.
