Steps
Step 1
Soak glutinous rice with water for at least 1 ½ hours prior to using. Drain. Prepare a 9-inch round or square cake pan and spray with cooking spray or line with plastic wrap. Mix coconut milk, water, salt and the rice. Pour it into cake pan, topped with the pandan knots. Steam for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, fluff up the rice and remove pandan knots. Then, using a greased spatula, flatten the steamed rice. Make sure there are no holes/air bubbles and gaps in the rice, especially the sides. Steam for another 10 minutes.
