Coconut Sticky Rice Bites

Method 5 steps

1. 1 Soak the rice in cold water for at least 1 hour, or overnight, then drain.
2. 2 Steam it in a steamer or sieve lined with muslin over simmering water for 20-25 minutes, until translucent and chewy. Or simmer it as the packet says.
3. 3 Warm the coconut milk with the maple syrup and salt and stir it into the hot rice. Cover and leave for 10 minutes to absorb.
4. 4 With damp hands, shape the rice into 8 balls and roll them in the toasted coconut.
5. 5 Wrap each ball in cling film so it stays moist in your vest.
