hak lor mai chook, or black glutinous rice porridge
I made a huge pot of hak lor mai chook, or black glutinous rice porridge as a treat to myself last weekend since I’m on a 30-day vegetarian diet and can’t eat meat. Quite a mouthful to say but it’s such a luscious dessert. Actually I eat a couple of bowls of it and it serves as my lunch 
.
The ingredients are simple.
* 2 cups black glutinous rice
* 4 cups water
* 1 cup of sugar, or to taste
* 1 cup thick coconut milk, to be kept in fridge till ready to serve
Place black glutinous rice and water in a large pot on medium heat and leave to boil for about an hour, or until the grains soften and open up. Add sugar to taste. Serve warm.
Add a pinch of salt to the coconut milk and mix well. Keep the coconut milk in the fridge until the black glutinous rice porridge is ready to serve. Drizzle about a dessertspoon of coconut milk onto each bowl of porridge and dessert is ready!
I’ve never heard of black glutinous rice. Is it like white rice only black? Or is it more like brown rice?

Sorry I took so long to respond. I’ve been having trouble again with my internet connection.
Black glutinous rice is like brown rice. I think you should be able to get it at the Asian grocer.
