Corn Husk Steamed Sticky Rice Pudding

Fun to assemble and even more rewarding to unwrap, these neat little packages make for an unforgettable dessert!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 fresh corn on the cob
  • 3/4 cup white sticky rice
  • 1/4 cup forbidden rice
  • 1/3 cup coconut cream
  • Condensed sweetened coconut milk for serving

Method
 

  1. Wash and soak your sticky rice overnight. I used a mixture of white sticky rice and forbidden rice to create purple rice, you can also just use white sticky rice alone;
  2. Trim the root off the corn cob, peel off all the corn husks and save them as wrappers, take off all the corn silk and strip off the corn kernels;
  3. Rinse the soaked rice one more time, drain the water well, add the rice to a mixing bowl;
  4. Add in the fresh corn kernels and coconut cream, stir to mix well, make sure the coconut cream coat all the rice grains and corn kernels evenly;
  5. Use the biggest pieces of the corn husks, if some of them are too small you can use two or three pieces together;
  6. Scoop 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoon rice and corn mixture and place onto the center of the corn husk, fold in the two sides then fold up the bottom half, to form a little parcel;
  7. Use a thin strip of corn husk as a rope to tie and fasten the opening of the parcel, repeat with the rest of the rice and corn husks;
  8. Transfer all the wrapped parcels into the steamer, bring a large pot of water to boil, transfer the steamer over the pot and steam on medium high heat for 30 minutes;
  9. Once steamed, let them cool down briefly for 5 minutes, unwrap the corn husks, serve the steamed sticky rice warm with extra condensed coconut milk or syrup if desired, enjoy!
