🇲🇾 Malaysia recipe

Ondeh-Ondeh

Ondeh-Ondeh are delightful little pandan-green glutinous rice balls that burst with liquid gula melaka when you bite into them, then are rolled in freshly grated coconut for a snowy white coating. These bite-sized treats are a beloved Nyonya kuih that perfectly captures the holy trinity of Malaysian desserts: pandan, coconut, and palm sugar. Making them is a joyful activity where the reward is an explosion of caramel sweetness in every bite.
