Monthly event "Let´s cook together" (Masak barang yuuk) arranged by Deetha, Ayin, Shinta . This month´s theme is quite interesting : "Jajan Pasar dengan bahan dasar beras" (Indonesian Traditional snacks with basic ingredient: Rice or Glutinous Rice). I decided to make wajik.

750 g glutinous rice
400 g gula jawa/coconut sugar
4 tbsp sugar

ingredients:
750 g glutinous rice
400 g gula jawa/coconut sugar
4 tbsp sugar
400ml coconut milk
300 ml water
7 kaffir lime leaves
2 pandan leaves
1/2 tsp salt
directions: soak glutinous rice in water for about 2 hours, then drained. Steam the rice 30 minutes or until half cooked. Put the rice in a medium bowl. Boil 300 ml water and remove from the heat then pour into the rice. Set aside. Boil coconut milk, sugar, coconut sugar, pandan leaves, kaffir lime leaves and salt, add rice, stir continuously until coconut milk absorbed by the the rice. Discard the leaves. Line a square pan or 20x30 cm baking pan with cling plastic or banana leaves ( I used plastic). Spread glutinous rice into the prepared baking pan. Press and smoothen the surface thoroughly until firm ( before starting to press, I covered the surface with cling plastic). Let it to cool. Cut into pieces.
