Yields: 28 pcs
Ingredients:
- 65 g fresh shredded coconut
- pinch fine salt
- 60 g coconut palm sugar
- 110 g glutinous rice flour
- 25 g tapioca starch
- 20 g icing sugar
- 100 ml pandan juice*
(*Pandan juice: Add 110 ml of water to 12 g pandan leaves, blend until smooth, and extract 100 ml pandan juice.)
Instructions:
1 Steam fresh shredded coconut for 5 minutes (to delay the staling of coconut).
2 Add salt to steamed shredded coconut, mix well (cover to prevent it from drying).
3 Grate coconut palm sugar block into fine coconut palm sugar.
4 Mix glutinous rice flour, tapioca starch and icing sugar, add in pandan juice, mix into a dough.
5 Divide the dough into 28 portions (each about 9 g).
6 Roll dough into a ball, then make a hole in the centre.
7 Fill with about ⅓ tsp of fine coconut palm sugar.
8 Seal the glutinous rice ball properly, press until firm using your palms, then shape gently into a ball.

10 Bring a small pot of water to the boil, turn to medium-low heat, add in glutinous rice balls and cook for 15 minutes. (Reminder: Cooking over medium-low heat for 15 minutes helps coconut palm sugar to melt.)

My favourite kueh yummylicious
Is there an alternative to tapioca starch?
You may replace with glutinous rice flour, tapioca starch just to give a chewy texture.
In INDONESIA, we called that sweet treats.. KLEPON. Because Onde Onde is different sweet treats… a rice flour base with green bean and sesame seed.
Anyone knows is icing sugar really needed?
It is optional.
