Method
- 1 Divide the rice into five portions and cook each portion separately with water infused with purple basil leaves, pandan leaves, gac fruit, turmeric, and plain water.
- 2 Natural colors must be cooked with the rice from the beginning; mixing the color into the cooked rice will result in uneven streaks.
- 3 Let each portion of rice cool slightly, then mix it with sesame salt and sesame oil.
- 4 Take each colored round ball and wrap it with a damp cloth, then press firmly.
- 5 Combine five pieces into a cluster and wrap a strip of seaweed around the base of the cluster.
