What to get ready

  • Photograph of Sticky rice Sticky rice 14.1 oz
  • Photograph of Black beans Black beans 7.1 oz
  • Photograph of Salt Salt 0.3 oz
  • Photograph of Shredded coconut Shredded coconut 2.8 oz
  • Photograph of Roasted sesame seeds Roasted sesame seeds 1.4 oz

Method

  1. 1 Soak the black beans for 8 hours until they swell, then boil them until soft but still intact.
  2. 2 Soak the glutinous rice for 6 hours, drain it, and then mix it with the boiled black beans.
  3. 3 Add a pinch of salt and steam the sticky rice for 30 minutes.
  4. 4 Stir the rice midway through to allow the steam to escape evenly and prevent the grains from becoming mushy.
  5. 5 Mix the grated coconut, sprinkle with roasted sesame seeds, and serve hot.

With an appliance

  • Pressure cooker 40 min

    Replace steps 3–4: steam glutinous rice mixed with black beans under low pressure for 12 minutes, then release pressure naturally for 5 minutes, fluff immediately after opening the lid; step 5 remains unchanged.
