5 stepsSteps

Method

  1. 1 Soak the corn kernels for 8 hours, then pop them until they swell and soften.
  2. 2 Soak the glutinous rice for 6 hours, drain it, and then mix it with the popped corn.
  3. 3 Add a pinch of salt and steam the sticky rice for 30 minutes until evenly cooked.
  4. 4 Fluff the mixture, then mix in the grated coconut and sugar.
  5. 5 Sprinkle crushed roasted sesame seeds on top before serving.

With an appliance

  • Pressure cooker 50 min

    Replace step 1: cook the soaked corn under high pressure for 18 minutes, then release the pressure naturally for 10 minutes; the glutinous rice in step 3 should still be steamed separately for 30 minutes, and steps 4–5 should remain unchanged.
