B: DURIAN SAUCE
1/2 kg coconut milk
1/2 tbsp salt
100 gms gula Melaka syrup
100 gms cold water
60 gms rice flour
250 gms durian flesh


Method:

To make the glutinous rice cakes, start by soaking the glutinous rice for 3 hours in water. Drain the rice, wash it clean and then add the rest of ingredients A before steaming. Set aside.

For the creamy durian sauce, cook the gula Melaka and 1/2 tbsp of salt over medium heat, stirring all the while.

Add coconut milk and stir occasionally to keep it from burning at the bottom.

Bring to a boil and then add the cold water and rice flour.

Turn off the flame and keep mixing. Once the sauce thickens, fold in the fresh, fleshy part of the durian until the sauce appears smooth and creamy.

Remove the pandan leaves from the steamed glutinous rice, cut into different shapes and serve with the durian sauce.
