Klepon
Klepon is a sticky glutinous rice ball with sweet gula djawa in it, and it's totally vegan! The iconic green pandan flavour is a testament for the Indonesian cuisine.
Ingredients
- 200 gr glutinous rice flour
- 1 tbsp tapioca flour
- pinch of salt
- 200 ml coconut milk
- 1 tsp green food coloring (pandan)
- 100 gr gula djawa
- 150 gr coconut rasp
Instructions
- Add the glutinous rice flour, tapioca and pinch of salt in a bowl and mix well.
- Mix the coconut milk with the pandan food coloring.
- Add the coconut milk with the dry ingredients and fold it in, this will create a dough ball. Pro tip: add a bit water if it's too dry, or add more flour if it's too wet. The consistency should be a non-sticky, dry dough ball.
- Make a string out of the dough and cut into small 1 cm pieces.
- Cut the gula djawa into smaller pieces (at least smaller than 1 cm).
- Press a dimple in one of the dough balls and add a piece of gula djawa in the dimple. Gently push the remaining dough over the gula djawa and roll it back into a ball. Repeat this until you finished all the klepon
- Put a pan of water on high heat and when the water starts to boil you can add a batch of the klepon.
- Cook the klepon until they start to float to the top. Stir sometimes to prevents sticking.
- In a new bowl add all the coconut rasp. Add some klepon to this bowl and coat all of them with the coconut.
- Serve the klepon warm or reheat it in the microwave for a little bit!
