How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose good sake
- To ensure that the sake has a sweet and rich flavor after cooking, you should choose large fruits with a yellow-green skin and fully bloomed spines.
- Avoid buying fruits with dark spots, bruises, or any signs of sliminess.
- If you happen to buy unripe, hard sake, you can leave it outside for about 2 – 3 days; when the skin turns yellow and feels soft when pressed, it is ready for cooking.
How to choose fragrant glutinous rice
- You should choose large, round grains of glutinous rice that are opaque white, without any broken or crushed grains.
- It is recommended to buy freshly milled glutinous rice, which has a natural fragrant smell.
- Avoid purchasing if you see any unusual colors in the rice or if the rice has a musty smell due to being stored for too long.
How to prepare Sake Sticky Rice Dessert
-
Prepare and boil the sake
Wash the sake and cut off the stem.
Put a pot of water on the stove, when the water boils, add the sake and boil for about 10 minutes over medium heat.
When the sake is just cooked, turn off the heat, take it out to cool slightly, peel off the skin, remove the pulp, and then cut it into small pieces.
-
Cook the sticky rice
Put 100g of sticky rice in a pot and rinse it clean, then add 5 pandan leaves, slowly add water to the pot until it covers the sticky rice by about 1/4 of your finger, then stop.
Place the pot of sticky rice on the stove and cook for about 20 minutes over medium heat until the rice is cooked.
Tip: To make the dessert more fragrant, you can replace plain water with fresh coconut water when cooking the sticky rice.
-
Cook the dessert
When the sticky rice is nearly cooked, add 200g of sugar and the sake, then use chopsticks to mix well. Cover the pot and cook on low heat for about 10 minutes, when the sticky rice is fully cooked, turn off the heat.
Tip
- You can adjust the amount of sugar to suit your family’s taste.
- To avoid the dessert being overly sweet and cloying, add 1/4 teaspoon of salt when cooking the dessert.
-

Scoop the dessert into a bowl, drizzle a little roasted sesame and a bit of coconut milk on top, and it can be enjoyed right away.

Let’s get into the kitchen and make this sweet dessert right away!
Tips for Storing Sake Sticky Rice Dessert
- The sake sticky rice dessert will taste better if you enjoy it hot right after completion; however, if you do not use it all, you can scoop it into a bowl and leave it outside in cool weather for about 10 – 12 hours.
Note: Coconut milk needs to be stored cold; when eating, scoop it out and drizzle it over the dessert.
- Or you can scoop the dessert into a container, cover it tightly, and place it in the refrigerator. When eating, just take it out to reheat, and it can be used for about 2 – 3 days.
- However, refrigerating it will reduce the deliciousness of the dessert; the glutinous rice will lose its chewiness. You should estimate your family’s portion size to adjust the ingredients accordingly when cooking.
