Bua Loi
Floating Rice Balls in Coconut Cream
Bua Loi is a traditional Thai dessert featuring colorful, chewy glutinous rice balls gently floating in a fragrant, sweet coconut milk sauce. It's a delightful and visually appealing treat.
🧂 Składniki
- 150 g Glutinous rice flour(Also known as sweet rice flour. Essential for the chewy texture.)
- approx. 60-75 ml Water(For making the dough. Adjust as needed. Start with less and add more gradually.)
- 2 tbsp Pandan juice(For green color and aroma. Can be made by blending pandan leaves with a little water and straining.)
- 2 tbsp Butterfly pea flower juice(For blue color. Steep dried butterfly pea flowers in hot water, then strain.)
- 400 ml Coconut cream(Full-fat coconut cream is recommended for richness. You can use a can of full-fat coconut milk, but scoop out the thick cream from the top.)
- 100 g Palm sugar(Or granulated sugar if palm sugar is unavailable. Adjust sweetness to your preference.)
- 1/4 tsp Salt(Enhances the sweetness and balances the flavors.)
👨🍳 Instrukcje

Prepare the dough: Divide the glutinous rice flour into three portions (e.g., 50g each). In one bowl, combine 50g of flour with pandan juice and a small amount of water (about 20-25ml) to form a smooth, pliable dough. Repeat with another 50g of flour and butterfly pea flower juice for a blue dough. The remaining 50g of flour will be for white balls, mixed with just water.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 2
Shape the balls: Take small portions of each colored dough and roll them between your palms to form tiny, marble-sized balls (about 1-1.5 cm in diameter). Aim for uniformity in size so they cook evenly. Place the formed balls on a lightly floured surface.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 3
Cook the rice balls: Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat (approximately 100°C / 212°F). Carefully add the rice balls to the boiling water. Stir gently to prevent them from sticking to the bottom. Cook until the balls float to the surface, which indicates they are cooked through. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Prepare the coconut sauce: While the balls are cooking, gently heat the coconut cream in a separate saucepan over medium-low heat (do not boil). Add the palm sugar and salt. Stir continuously until the sugar has completely dissolved and the sauce is warm and fragrant. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary. The sauce should be warm, not hot.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 5
Assemble and serve: Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the cooked rice balls from the boiling water directly into the warm coconut cream sauce. Serve immediately in small bowls, ensuring each serving has plenty of the colorful balls and the creamy sauce. The dessert can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
