Makes: 4-6 servings
Ingredients:
- 2 cups white rice
- Water to cover
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 large, square pieces of banana leaf
Directions:
- Cover the rice with water and soak 30 minutes. Drain the water and transfer the rice to a food processor. Pulse until the rice looks like little beads.
- Add the coconut milk and sugar and stir until you get a nice batter.
- Lay the banana leaf flat on your work surface and pour the batter onto the leaf.
- Wrap the mouf batter in the leaf and submerged the entire packet in a pot of boiling water for about 30 minutes.
