ReplyDeleteis palm sugar different than regular sugar?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous: Yes. Palm sugar is extracted from the palm tree while regular sugar is derived from sugar canes. Palm sugar has a caramel-like sweetness and they are used primarily for making sweets and desserts.
ReplyDeleteHi Angie, i've just stumbled onto this wonderful blog :) but i was just wondering if i needed to soak the rice over night or at least 6 hrs prior to cooking?

Jane
