Ingredients

• 1 cup black glutinous rice
• 4 cups water
• 2 cups coconut milk
• 0.5 cup palm sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 whole pandan leaf (optional)
• 1 cup fresh mango slices

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the black glutinous rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, combine the rinsed black rice with 4 cups of water and bring to a boil over medium heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 45 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 4

After 45 minutes, uncover the saucepan and add 1 cup of the coconut milk, 0.5 cup of palm sugar, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt. If using, add the pandan leaf for a fragrant touch.

Step 5

Continue to simmer uncovered for an additional 30 minutes, stirring frequently until the rice is tender and the mixture thickens, resembling porridge.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and discard the pandan leaf, if used. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 7

Allow the pudding to cool slightly before dividing among serving bowls.

Step 8

Add a drizzle of the remaining 1 cup of coconut milk over the top of each serving.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh mango slices for an extra burst of flavor.

Step 10

Serve warm or chilled, depending on your preference.
