7 Tips for Making Chewy, Delicious, and Tempting Sticky Rice Cake (Dodol)

"Dream - Dodol ketan, one of Indonesia's traditional snacks, is known for its chewy, sweet, and soft texture. Dodol ketan comes in various variations, ranging from black and white sticky rice to flavors like pandan, durian, pineapple, and many more. It is also served in various ways, from the classic rolled in plastic to fun-shaped cuts."

"Although it seems simple, making chewy and delicious sticky rice dodol requires special attention and patience because the process takes quite a long time. Check out the following tips for making sticky rice dodol at home!"

"1. Choose Quality Raw Materials"

To produce delicious sticky rice dodol, choose quality ingredients such as black or white sticky rice, coconut, and brown sugar. Ensure the sticky rice is clean in color, the coconut is sufficiently mature but fresh for thick and savory coconut milk, and the brown sugar is of good quality.

"2. Pay Attention to the Proportion of Ingredients"

"After the ingredients are ready, pay attention to the proportions used. The ratio of glutinous rice, coconut milk, and sugar must be just right. Usually, the ratio of glutinous rice to coconut milk is 1:2, while the sugar is adjusted according to the desired level of sweetness. The correct proportions ensure a chewy texture and delicious taste."

"3. Soak Glutinous Rice as Needed"

Soak the glutinous rice in clean water for at least 4 hours or overnight. This process speeds up cooking and helps the rice absorb the coconut milk well. Mix the coconut milk with a little salt, bring to a boil briefly, then add it to the glutinous rice to be processed into dodol.

4. Gunakan Wajan dan Alat Pengaduk yang Tepat

"4. Use the Right Pan and Stirring Tool"

"Use a thick-bottomed non-stick pan to prevent the dodol from sticking. Choose a sturdy stirring tool like a wooden spatula that is not easily broken, as the stirring process requires extra effort."

"5. Stir the Sticky Rice Dodol Consistently"

"Consistent stirring prevents the dodol from burning and ensures that all ingredients are mixed and cooked evenly. Stir continuously so that the batter does not stick to the bottom of the pan and the texture of the dodol is softer."

"6. Use a Small Flame"

"Cook the sticky rice dodol over low heat to avoid burning and ensure it is perfectly cooked. This process takes about 3-4 hours and requires extra patience."

"7. Add Flavor and Color Variations"

To make dodol more appealing, add variations of flavors and colors such as chocolate, durian, pineapple, or green beans. Use natural food coloring like pandan, strawberry, or pineapple for a more varied appearance. Source: Diadona.id
