2 ways to make delicious and chewy sticky rice rolls with durian and mung beans

Prepare the Ingredients

Rinse the sticky rice thoroughly with water, then soak it overnight in cold water or in warm water for 2 – 4 hours until the rice is soft. After soaking, drain the water and let the rice dry.

Wash the mung beans, place them in a bowl, soak for about 1 – 2 hours, drain the water, and let them dry.

For the green onions, cut off the root ends, wash them thoroughly, and chop the leaves into small pieces.

Wash the pandan leaves and let them dry.

Steam the Sticky Rice and Mung Beans

Add 500g of sticky rice and 150g of peeled mung beans into a large glass bowl, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and mix the ingredients well by hand.

Pour about 250ml of water into a steaming pot and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Then, place the steaming basket on top of the pot and line the bottom with some pandan leaves to create aroma for the sticky rice during steaming.

Next, add the entire mixture of sticky rice and mung beans into the basket, cover, and steam over medium heat for about 30 – 45 minutes, checking regularly during the cooking process to ensure the sticky rice is cooked evenly and is fragrant.

Making coconut milk

You add 10g of rice flour, 10g of tapioca starch, 100g of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt into a pot and use a whisk to mix the mixture well.

Then add 500ml of coconut water, place the pot on the stove, add about 2 pandan leaves and use the whisk to stir well.

You will cook the mixture for about 10 – 15 minutes until it boils and thickens, then add 300ml of coconut milk, continue to cook until the mixture boils again, then add the chopped green onions and turn off the stove.

Making peanut sugar salt

Add 100g of peanuts, 100g of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt into the blender and proceed to grind the peanut sugar salt mixture to serve with sticky rice.

Wrapping sticky rice with rice paper and durian

When you buy the rice paper, you should take it outside and let it sit overnight to make it softer and easier to wrap the sticky rice.

Place a little green bean sticky rice on the rice paper and use a spoon to spread it evenly on the surface. Then add a little durian flesh, drizzle about 1 tablespoon of coconut milk, a bit of peanut sugar salt, and a little shredded coconut, then roll it up and you will have a delicious, attractive sticky rice roll with durian.

Prepare the ingredients

Soak the glutinous rice in a large bowl for about 6 – 8 hours. After that, rinse it thoroughly with water and drain it in a basket.

Soak the mung beans in water for 2 – 3 hours to soften them, which will help them cook faster. Then rinse them again with water and let them drain.

Cut the gấc fruit in half, remove all the seeds, and soak them in about 1 tablespoon of white wine for about 15 minutes. Next, use your hands to mash the gấc flesh and remove the seeds to obtain the gấc pulp.

Mix gấc with sticky rice

After processing the sticky rice, place it in a stainless steel bowl, add 70gr of gấc flesh and a little salt, and use a spoon to mix the gấc with the sticky rice thoroughly.

Then let it sit for about 1 hour so that the sticky rice will have a nicer color when cooked.

Boil green beans with sugar and coconut milk

Put a pot on the stove, add 300gr of green beans, 400ml of water along with a little salt, and boil for about 10 minutes.

When the green beans start to boil, reduce the heat, skim off the foam on the surface, and cook until the water is slightly reduced, then add 70gr of sugar and 100ml of coconut milk. Use a ladle to stir well and continue cooking until the green beans are fully expanded.

Cook on low heat so that the coconut milk is evenly absorbed by the green beans. You will cook until the green beans become thick and dry, then you can turn off the heat.

Roasting sesame seeds

Place a pan on the stove, add a little sesame seeds to the pan, and use chopsticks to stir constantly to prevent burning.

Roast the sesame seeds over medium heat until they turn slightly yellow, then turn off the heat and transfer them to a bowl.

Steaming sticky rice

Add about 200ml of water to the steamer pot and bring to a boil, then line banana leaves in the steamer and add all the sticky rice to cook.

During the steaming process, take out 200ml of coconut milk and mix it with the remaining 80gr of sugar, stir well, and set aside to drizzle over the sticky rice to enhance the flavor of the dish.

After steaming for 10 minutes, open the lid of the sticky rice, drizzle the mixture of coconut milk and sugar over it, and every 10 minutes, drizzle the coconut milk over the sticky rice once.

The sticky rice will be steamed for about 25 minutes until it is evenly cooked and soft.

Rolling sticky rice

You use cling film to line a tray or plate, then sprinkle the roasted sesame seeds on top, add all the sticky rice to the tray and spread it evenly around.

Next, place the mung beans on top of the gac sticky rice and continue to spread evenly to create two layers of sticky rice and mung beans when shaping. Finally, you use your hands to roll it tightly to complete the delicious, appealing sticky rice roll.

After that, you will leave the sticky rice roll wrapped in cling film to shape for about 2 hours. When the sticky rice has set firmly, you should use a string to cut the sticky rice into round pieces for easy eating, as the string will help cut the sticky rice quickly and easily.
