This versatile coconut-scented purple rice filling comes together in a rice cooker with no advance soaking required. The author notes it comes out sticky and chewy even without soaking. If you don't care for coconut flavor, substitute butter for the coconut oil and milk powder for the coconut powder for a plain purple rice filling.

Steps

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Rinse the purple rice thoroughly. No advance soaking is needed. Measure the water with your index finger: the water level should reach one finger joint above the rice.

    ✅ Done when: The rice is rinsed until the water runs clear and sits covered by about one finger joint of water.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Coconut Purple Rice Filling — step 2 visual checkpoint.

    Put the rice and water into a rice cooker and start the rice-cooking program.

    ✅ Done when: The rice cooker cycle runs to completion.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Coconut Purple Rice Filling — step 3 visual checkpoint.

    When finished, the cooked purple rice should be soft and chewy.

    ✅ Done when: The grains are soft, sticky, and chewy throughout.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    Coconut Purple Rice Filling — step 4 visual checkpoint.

    While the purple rice is still hot, add the granulated sugar, coconut oil, condensed milk, and coconut powder.

  5. 5

    Step 5

    Coconut Purple Rice Filling — step 5 visual checkpoint.

    Stir until evenly combined. Store any leftover filling sealed in the freezer; after thawing, steam it again briefly and it turns soft and chewy once more. Use the filling for soft-skin purple rice cakes, purple rice and pork floss treats, purple rice bread, and more.

    ✅ Done when: The filling is smooth and uniform, with all ingredients fully incorporated.
