Introducing our traditional snack to our teen kids for the very first time 🥇. The youngest one, whose daily staple includes bread, pasta, meat and anything-potatoes, gave a blank look 🙄. The other one, who loves Asian food, gave a positive smile 😊. She thinks it's nice and she likes it sweeter.

Ingredient

375 g

rice flour (1 small box, see pic)

3 tbsp

glutinous rice flour

200 g

fine desiccated coconut (see pic)

1/2 C

Sugar

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Place the coconut in a large skillet/deep pan or a wok, and cook without oil over medium-low heat for few minutes, stirring continuously until the coconut is light brown. Remove from the pan and cool completely. Remove from the heat and keep aside.

* Step 2

Using the same large skillet/pan or wok, do the same with rice flour and glutinous rice flour. Pan toast over medium-low heat, stirring constantly for at least 7mins-10mins or until the flour is lightly brown-ish. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.

* Step 3

Next, combine the flour, coconut & sugar. Mix well. Taste and adjust sugar to your liking, and it's done.

* Step 4

Our teen kids (pic below) in our traditional costume (Sea Dayak or the Iban Traditional Costume) celebrating School Harmony Day with teachers and friends. Harmony Day in Australia is a day to celebrate our differences, diversity and learn to live together and respect each other. We also introduce our family food to their friends when they get together.
