Ingredients
3cupsglutinous rice flour
400mlcoconut milk
¾cupevaporated milk
1 ½cupbrown sugar
¼cupripe jackfruitcut into strips
¼cupcheddar cheesecut into small cubes
Instructions
In a wide pan over medium heat, toast the glutinous rice flour until lightly brown. Remove from the pan and set aside. Reserve about 3 tbsp for dusting.
Using the same pan, combine the coconut milk and evaporated milk. Add the brown sugar then stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Gradually add the toasted glutinous rice flour. Continue to stir until well blended and the mixture forms a dough. Allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes.
Transfer the dough into a clean flat floured surface. I used rice flour and spread it on top of the counter. Flatten the dough and spread the ripe jackfruit and cheese. Knead for about 2 minutes or until the mixture is well incorporated.
Roll into a log, cut and divide into 30 pieces depending on the size you want. Dust with the reserved rice flour. Shake off to get rid of the excess flour and wrap in a Japanese paper or white bond paper.
