Rice - Pulut Durian (Sticky Rice with Durian)

During durian season, I found hawkers selling durian with pulut (sweet rice/sticky rice/glutinous rice) in Penang’s night market.

I bought a frozen Thai durian, sometimes it will depend on luck. Why? Because sometimes the taste of Thai durian is okay, but sometimes the fruit is not ripe enough. This time I got one that had no taste at all.

Normally you can smell the durian when you open the fridge, but this one really didn’t have any smell!

Ingredients – Makes 4-5 serving

• A fresh durian
• 150 g glutinous rice
• 80 g thick coconut milk with a pinch of salt

Method

1. Soak the glutinous rice in water over night. Drain water and add coconut milk to the glutinous rice.
   
2. Steam for about half hour or until cooked. Let the rice cool, and top with a little coconut milk. Serve with durian.

榴连季节时，我看到槟城Pasar Malam（夜市）有卖榴连糯米椰浆饭的食档。

有时候买冻泰国榴连要靠运气。为什么？有时味道还好，有时果肉不熟。这次我了一粒无味的榴连。

一般榴连存进冰橱，开冰橱一定会嗅到榴连味，而这粒，完全没嗅到有一点味！

材料 - 可做 4-5人份量

• 1粒 榴连
• 150克 糯米
• 80克 浓椰浆 拌 1撒 盐

做法

1. 糯米浸水隔夜。倒干水，加入浓椰浆。
2. 蒸约半小时或至熟。待糯米饭冷后，加上一点椰浆及配榴连即食。
