Prepare the ingredients
Wash 500g of jackfruit seeds with clean water 2 times, then rinse again with a mixture of diluted salt water to remove the sliminess of the jackfruit seeds. Let the jackfruit seeds drain.

Boil and blend the jackfruit seeds
Place a pot on the stove, pour in enough water to cover half the pot, then add the jackfruit seeds to boil, adding 2 teaspoons of salt. Boil the seeds on low heat for about 20 minutes until cooked.
After boiling and letting them cool, peel the jackfruit seeds and put them in the blender. Add 1/2 cup of coconut and 2 tablespoons of sugar, then blend until smooth.
Tip: If you don’t have a blender, you can use a mortar and pestle to mash the jackfruit seeds evenly. -
Mix the glutinous rice flour and shape the cake
Add 1 tablespoon of sugar to the glutinous rice flour, then gradually pour in 2 cups of warm water. While adding water, knead the dough by hand until it forms a solid, smooth, and sticky mass.
Take 1 piece of glutinous rice dough, roll it into a ball, then press it flat. Place a portion of jackfruit seed filling and shredded coconut in the center, carefully wrap them up and shape it into a ball. Repeat until the dough and filling are used up.
Tip: While mixing the dough, you can adjust the amount of water to avoid the dough being too dry or too wet! -
Fry the cake
Place a pan on the stove, add 5 tablespoons of cooking oil and wait for the oil to heat up. Then add the cake to fry.
Fry the cake over low heat for about 10 minutes to avoid burning it, until both sides are golden and crispy, then remove the cake to drain the oil.
