Durian Sticky Rice

Serves 4-6

1. Add rice to a large bowl and fill with tap water. Leave to soak overnight.
2. The next day, drain and rinse the rice under cold running water. Line a steamer basket with baking paper then fill with drained rice. Steam for 30 mins.
3. Meanwhile, add coconut milk, white sugar, palm sugar and salt into a small pot. Tie the pandan leaf into a knot and add to the pot. Heat to dissolve the sugar. Simmer for 5 minutes then remove from the heat. Remove and discard the pandan leaf.
4. Transfer the cooked rice into a large bowl and pour in ¼ to ½ of the coconut sauce. Mix until everything is well combined then set aside for about an hour for the coconut milk to absorb into the rice. Set aside the remaining coconut sauce to serve just after plating.
5. To serve, spoon a mound of sticky rice onto each serving plate. Place one durian segment next to each mound. Drizzle on coconut sauce and garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
