Cook Coconut Milk
Put 500ml of coconut milk, 20g of rolled pandan leaves, and a little salt into a pot and bring to a boil, when it starts boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes.
Prepare a small bowl with 2 tablespoons of water and half a tablespoon of about 30g of tapioca flour, stir well, and add it to cook together with the coconut milk.
Let it sit for about 2 minutes to remove the pandan leaves. At this point, you can adjust the sweetness to your preference, then turn off the heat and let it cool.

Make Pandan Noodles
Cut the remaining 40g of pandan leaves into small pieces and put them into a blender, adding 200ml of water. After blending, strain the pandan water through a sieve to get a bowl of clear liquid. Pour this liquid into a pot, add a little salt, and a little sugar and wait for it to boil.
While waiting for the water to boil, mix 50g of rice flour, 70g of tapioca flour, and 100ml of water until the flour is completely dissolved. Pour the flour mixture into the boiling pandan water, stirring continuously for about 2 minutes until a thick mixture is obtained, keeping the heat low to fully cook the flour.
Tip:You can sieve it again to avoid clumping!
Prepare a bowl of water and add 2 – 3 ice cubes to hold the noodle strands. Pour this thick flour mixture into a steamer, then use a spoon to stir in a circular motion to create the pandan noodles. When the noodles solidify, transfer them to another bowl of water to clean them from the old water.
