👨🍳 Instrucțiuni
- 1
Prepare the Mung Bean Paste: Drain the soaked mung beans and place them in a saucepan. Cover with fresh water by about an inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until very tender. Drain any excess water. Mash the beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, with a few small chunks remaining for texture. Stir in the salt. Set aside.
⏱️ 30 minutes - 2
Prepare the Sticky Rice: Drain the soaked glutinous rice thoroughly. In a bowl, toss the drained rice with the turmeric powder and a pinch of salt (optional) until evenly coated and a vibrant yellow color. If using a steamer basket, line it with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel to prevent rice from falling through. Spread the rice evenly in the prepared steamer basket. If using a pot with a steamer insert, ensure the water level is below the insert.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 3
Steam the Rice: Place the steamer basket over a pot of boiling water (ensure the water doesn't touch the rice). Cover tightly and steam for 30-40 minutes, or until the rice is translucent, tender, and sticky. Check periodically and add more boiling water to the pot if needed. The rice should be cooked through and have a slightly chewy texture.
⏱️ 40 minutes - 4
Finish the Rice: Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Pour the warmed coconut milk over the hot rice and gently mix to combine. The coconut milk will add richness and a subtle sweetness. Cover the bowl and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 5
Assemble and Serve: To serve, scoop a generous portion of the yellow sticky rice into individual bowls. Create a well in the center and spoon a portion of the mashed mung bean paste. Drizzle generously with shallot oil and sprinkle with crispy fried shallots. Serve immediately while warm.
