noaxx steamerThe fastest way ever to cook pulut. I use the Noxxa pressure cooker for the 1st time to cook pulut rice and it turns out well . No soaking the pulut rice required. Add in all the ingredients pulut rice, santan, water, salt. Just in 7minits, high pressure and it’s done.
Method to cook & steam on gas top (dapur gas) :
1) Soak the pulut rice for 3-4hrs in clean water. Drain off the soaked water.
2) Then , use a pot , add in santan, water, pulut rice and salt. Start to cook the pulut for about 10minutes in low heat.
3) Once the water/santan reduced, the pulut should be half cooked only at this stage. Off the heat.
4) Transfer the pulut rice to a steamer tray, and steam the pulut further. It wil take about another 10-15 minutes, the pulut rice will be cooked fully.
