Method
- Mix glutinous rice flour and salt, then add water gradually until a smooth dough forms without cracks.
- Divide into equal pieces, roll into thin ropes, and twist or loop each piece like a short length of cord.
- Heat oil to about 165–170°C and fry in batches until the pieces are firm and pale golden, not dark brown.
- Drain on a rack while simmering coconut milk, muscovado, and pandan in a wide pan.
- Cook the syrup until it coats the back of a spoon and bubbles slowly rather than foaming rapidly.
- Add the fried twists and toss over low heat until glazed, then transfer immediately to an oiled tray.
- Separate the pieces before the coating sets and sprinkle sesame if desired.
