Pulut Panggang? (grilled glutinous rice) with sambal kerisik (toasted coconut). This is a popular Nyonya kuih (bite-sized treat) that is made from steamed glutinous rice with a spicy filling, then wrapped in banana leaves & grilled to give the rice an amazing smoky flavor?. I made my filling by toasting coconut flakes & then seasoned with homemade sambal – another way to use sambal. They stay soft the next day at room temperature, a perfect make-ahead treat. So, give it a try on your backyard grilling today.? Selamat Hari Raya & Happy Memorial Day. Best, WoonHeng❤️
Recipe (yields 10-12 parcels)
?Steamed rice ingredients:
– 1.5 cups [300g] glutinous rice – soaked for at least 4 hours/overnight, drained
– 1/2 to 3/4 cup [125g-170g] coconut milk
– knotted pandan leaves (optional)
– 1/2 teaspoons salt
?Filling ingredients:
– 1 cup [160g] coconut flakes – used frozen mature coconut flakes
– 3 tablespoons sambal (recipe on highlights)
– sugar & salt to taste
?Other ingredients: oil for cooking, banana leaves, cleaned
1. Place drained rice in a heat-safe bowl along with pandan leaves & salt. Then, steam over high heat for 20-25mins until rice is fully cooked through. Add coconut milk and fluff during the last few minutes of steaming. Once ready, remove pandan leaves & let the rice cool down. (Depending on the rice’s brand & your preferred rice texture, you may need to add water with rice during the first steam)
2. To make the filling, heat a non-stick pan & toast coconut flakes until golden brown. Push the mixture to the side of the pan & add sambal. Continue to cook until the mixture is well incorporated. Season if needed.
3. To make the parcels, cut banana leaves into 5X7 rectangles. Brush banana leaf with oil, place about 1/4 cup rice in the middle. Press down slightly to create a small rectangle. Add a spoonful of filling in the middle. Roll & seal both ends with toothpicks or staples or simply tuck the leaves under.
4. Brush each parcel with oil & grill for 15-20mins, turning occasionally.
