It's been a while since I made bubur pulut hitam (black sticky rice sweet porridge). Bought 300 grams of the grains at the wet market this morning, and I cooked all of it. As a result, I have half of the 5 liter pot full! Way too much! After consuming 2 bowls of the porridge just now, I've decided that I have to share it with a neighbor, and I did. Hope they like it as much as I do.
Making this porridge takes patients. We need to soak the sticky rice for at least 3-4 hours, overnight is better. Then boil it for another 2 hours till the rice softens and in the process you have to stir it often so that it doesn't stick to your pot (hence the name 'sticky rice'). Add more water if the rice feels too 'heavy' to stir. Then put in daun pandan, sugar and lastly coconut milk.
Aaahh.. nice!
