Onde-Onde


Recently I received an email from Bee of Rasa Malaysia. She had invited me to be her guest writer for Rasa Malaysia. Well, my first thought was, what a timely invitation from Bee. I was thinking to post something special to celebrate my 7 months old blog. Hence, this is a special post for Seasaltwithfood and being a guest writer for Rasa Malaysia. YAY!! :-)

Okay, to me something special doesn’t have to be expensive; but, perhaps it’s something we haven’t had for a while and most importantly, my family must enjoy them.

Well, I chose to make onde-onde and what a coincidence! Turned out, it was also one of Bee’s suggestions! Anyway, I hope you will try this recipe. These taste great!

Onde-Onde is one of the traditional kuih in Malaysia (kuih is term for Malaysian cakes, pastries if you will). They are either made from sweet potato or glutinous rice flour. The cute little Onde-Onde are infused with Pandan juice and filled with palm sugar and then rolled in with some fresh grated coconut. The palm sugar that's in it, literally burst in your mouth when you take a bite. They are sweet and delicious. Enjoy!


Onde-Onde

Ingredients

250 g Glutinous Rice Flour
200 ml of Pandan Juice
150 g Gula Melaka (Palm Sugar), finely chopped
100 g Grated Coconut
A Pinch Of Sea Salt

Method

In a large bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour with Pandan juice and knead lightly. Pinch a small piece of the dough (about 40 g) and drop it into boiling water. When the dough rises up the surface, remove it with a slotted spoon and shake off the excess water. Mix it back into the main dough and knead well to form smooth dough. Cover the dough and set aside for about 15 minutes.

Mix the grated coconut with a pinch of salt and steam for about 2 - 3 minutes and let it cool completely.

Bring a pot of water to boil. Pinch a small piece of dough (about 15 g each) and flatten lightly. Fill the center of the dough with palm sugar. Roll them in your palm to form a smooth ball and cook the glutinous rice balls in the boiling water. When the rice balls float to the surface, remove them with a slotted spoon and shake off the excess water.

Coat the rice balls with grated coconut and serve immediately.

Note: To make the Pandan Juice. Blend 10 Pandan leaves with 220 ml water.

    1. To achieve smooth and elastic dough, you need to boil a piece of dough. This will prevent the Onde-Onde from bursting when you boil them.

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
