  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.
