Description
A delightful twist on the traditional Lod Chong dessert, featuring chewy bubble tea-inspired noodles in a rich coconut milk base.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4.2 oz Pine Brand tapioca starch (plus extra for dusting)
- 0.9 oz Pine Brand mung bean starch
- 2/3 cup water
- 5 drops green food coloring
- 1 1/4 cup coconut water or regular water
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 pandan leaf
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup coconut water
- 1/8 teaspoon table salt
- 5 pieces sweet jackfruit, fresh or canned (julienned against the grain)
- Lots of ice for serving
Instructions
- Make the Syrup: In a small pot, combine 1 1/4 cups coconut water and tie a pandan leaf into a knot before adding it to the pot. Cover and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes. Stir in 3/4 cup sugar and keep stirring until dissolved. Remove from heat and allow it to cool completely.
- Make the Coconut Milk: In another pot, combine 1 cup coconut milk, 1/2 cup coconut water, and 1/8 teaspoon table salt. Add the tied pandan leaf and simmer on low heat for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely.
- Make the Noodles: In a bowl, whisk together 4.2 oz tapioca starch and 0.9 oz mung bean starch. Boil 2/3 cup water, turn off the heat, and mix in 5 drops green food coloring. Gradually add the hot water mixture into the starches, mixing until you have a rough dough.
- Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead until smooth. Roll out the dough into a thin sheet and cut it into strips to form your noodles, then dust with tapioca starch.
- Boil the Noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Gently drop your prepared noodles into the boiling water. Once the noodles float and are cooked through (around 3-5 minutes), transfer them to an ice bath to cool.
- To Serve: In a bowl, build your masterpiece: place a portion of noodles in, add julienned jackfruit, drizzle over your homemade syrup, pour the coconut milk, and stir gently. Top it off with plenty of ice! Enjoy your creation with a straw or spoon.
Notes
For best results, keep the noodles in syrup and coconut milk to maintain moisture if not serving immediately.
