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!
