How to cook

1
- Peel the water chestnuts and cut them into small pieces (about 1 cm in size). Rinse them with water. Mix a small amount of red food coloring with water, then coat the water chestnuts and let sit for about 10 minutes to allow the color to absorb.
- In a pot, bring 500 ml of coconut milk to a boil, simmering gently over medium heat. Add 3-4 pandan leaves and continue to cook on medium heat.
- Add sugar and stir until combined, then add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor. At this stage, if you want a smoky aroma, place the coconut milk in a smoker for 15 minutes, or you can use pre-smoked coconut milk as a substitute.
- Remove the water chestnuts from the coloring mixture and drain. Place tapioca starch on a tray, then coat the water chestnuts in the starch, shaking off any excess.
- Boil the coated water chestnuts in rapidly boiling water. When they float to the surface, they are cooked. Be cautious at this step; if the water isn’t boiling rapidly, the tapioca coating may fall off the water chestnuts.
- Remove the coated water chestnuts from the pot and place them in room-temperature water to cool. Once cooled, serve in a bowl with coconut milk, and you can add jackfruit or fresh coconut meat if desired.
