I felt like making something different and sweet tonight, so I put together some bai damnerb gruop khano (Cambodian grilled coconut rice with jackfruit in a banana leaf).
1. I started out by cooking two cups of sweet rice and scraping out half a coconut.
2. Next I cut jackfruit into pieces.
3. When the rice was done, I combined 1/2 cup coconut milk with 1/2 tsp salt and 2 tsp sugar. I added this to the rice and then allowed the rice to sit for 30 mins. When ready, I cut some banana leaves to size and began filling them with the rice, fresh coconut, and jackfruit. I used toothpicks to secure the ends.
4. Next I placed the stuffed banana leaves on a very hot grill and allowed them to grill until slightly burnt on each side.
Yummy!
