Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups glutinous rice flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 2-3 cups water
  • 2 400 ml can coconut milk or cream
  • 1 ½ cup cooked tapioca pearls
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 big sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 4 piece plantain bananas peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup jackfruit cut into strips

Instructions
 

  • Start by combining glutinous rice flour and water in a bowl until it forms a dough. Then, roll the dough into small balls using your palms and set them aside.
  • In a pot, bring a mixture of water, coconut milk, and sugar to a boil. Add sweet potato cubes and cook for about 3 minutes before adding the plantain banana cubes for another 3 minutes.
  • Once the sweet potatoes and bananas are almost cooked, add the sticky rice balls and let them simmer until they float, which takes about 5 minutes.
  • Finally, add the jackfruit slices and cooked tapioca pearls and let the mixture simmer for another 3-5 minutes, or until all the fruits are tender and cooked to perfection.
  • Keep in mind that the dish will continue to thicken even after you remove it from the heat, so don't worry if it's a bit runny at first. Serve it hot or cold and enjoy the delightful blend of flavors and textures!
