Matcha Sticky Rice Dessert
You will need:
2 cups of glutinous rice
1 cup of water
2 tablespoons of matcha powder
1 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of cornstarch
Instructions
- Start by washing the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Soak the rice in a bowl of water for at least 2 hours, then drain.
- Place the drained rice in a steamer and steam for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and sticky.
- Transfer the cooked rice to a food processor and add the matcha powder. Blend until the mixture is smooth and the rice has turned green.
- In a saucepan, mix the sugar with 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Slowly pour the sugar syrup into the rice and matcha mixture, mixing well to combine.
- Dust a clean surface with cornstarch and turn out the sticky rice mixture onto it. Flatten the mixture with a rolling pin until it's about 1 inch thick.
- Cut the flattened mixture into squares or your preferred shape, dusting each piece with more cornstarch to prevent sticking.
- Let the matcha sticky rice dessert cool completely before serving.
