Ingredients for the Sticky Rice Mixture

  • 1 cup rice flour
  • 1 cup glutinous rice flour
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 can coconut milk (400ml)

Ingredients for the Chocolate Mixture:

  • 1 cup rice flour
  • 1 cup glutinous rice flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 can coconut milk (400ml)
  • 1 cup chopped roasted peanuts (optional)
  • 12-14 pieces Banana Leaves (6x10 inch)

Instructions
 

Process for the Sticky Rice Mixture

  • In a deep pan, combine rice flour, glutinous rice flour, and sugar. Give it a good whisk.
  • Add coconut milk and vanilla extract.
  • Simmer over low heat, stirring regularly until you get a very thick, sticky dough. Transfer it to a bowl and set it aside.

Process for Chocolate Mixture

  • In another deep pan, mix rice flour, glutinous rice flour, brown sugar, and cocoa powder.
  • Add coconut milk and vanilla extract.
  • Simmer over low heat until it slightly thickens. Then, add chopped roasted peanuts and continue to simmer until you get a very thick, sticky dough. Let it cool down in a bowl.

Assembly Process:

  • Heat up cleaned banana leaves to make them flexible.
  • Divide each dough into 12-14 portions. Take a portion of the white moron and spread it on one side of a banana leaf, flattening it into a 6x4-inch rectangle.
  • Place a portion of chocolate moron on top of the white one, ensuring it's within the boundaries.
  • Carefully roll the two layers into a cylinder and wrap them with the banana leaf. Secure the ends with kitchen twine or use thin strips of banana leaf as twine. Repeat for the remaining mixture.
  • Steam the rolled suman moron in a steamer basket over low heat for 30 minutes.
  • Once steamed, transfer them to a plate to cool down and serve.
