This sweet rice soup must go hand in hand with crispy Yau Char Kway II and it is top in the list of my comfort food. Make it on a cold wintery day and it will surely warm up not only the body but the soul too, thinking of home. Well done, it should be creamy, sweet, a tinge of saltiness from the thick coconut milk and the crispy yck said it all.
Ingredients:
250 g black glutinous rice
50 g white glutinous rice
5 litres water
150 - 200 g castor sugar
75g dried longans, rinsed
2–3 pandan leaves, knotted
Toppings:
Yau Char Kway II
and
Thick coconut milk mix with 1/2 tsp salt
Method:
Wash black and white glutinous rice thoroughly and soak in water for several hours.
Put rice and water into a pot and cook over medium heat until rice is soft and almost creamy.
Alternatively cook in the pressure cooker for 10 - 15 minutes but make sure that the watelevel must not be more than half of the pressure cooker). Remove lid when pressure is released and add in more water to make the soup creamy.
When rice has reached the desired consistency, add dried longans and pandan leaves.Add sugar and simmer for a further 10–15 minutes over gentle heat. ( Sugar should never be added in the beginning of cooking)
This one is my favourite tong sui... Yummy...

Hi Lily, I've love your blog and have told many of my friends and family about your website here in Sydney. Whenever we meet and cook something and when it is good, we always say it is "Auntie Lily's recipe!" Thanks for your sharing. I go on everyday now to see what's new and my friends can't believe that you can actually blog daily with a new recipe and were amazed.

hi Aunty Lily!!
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing this recipe!!! even though it is quite simple, there are still a few tricks..!! I remember my mom telling me to put a little white glutinous rice to make this dessert silky smooth but i have totally forgot it until i saw your recipe!
i feel 'safe' you are preserving so much of the south east asian culinary heritage on your blog!!!;P
thanks again!!
so happened i m cooking my bubur pulut hitam this morning ( i soaked it overnite), but i didnt aware there is such a eating way of adding black and white glutinious rice together..! very 1st time in my life i heard about it. Back in Northen region (Penang), we hardly eat like that. But i will certainly give it a try!
