- Preparation: 20 min

Ingredients
- 25 g Rice flour
- 8 g Cornstarch
- 220 g Water
- 1 g Vanilla extract
- 100 g Coconut milk, canned
- 30 g Sugar, brown
- 15 g Adzuki beans, dried
- 0.3 g Salt
Method
- Whisk the rice flour and cornstarch with 100 g of the water until smooth, then stir in a drop of vanilla extract (standing in for pandan) for color and aroma.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 5-6 minutes until it thickens into a smooth, glossy paste.
- While hot, press the paste through a colander or ricer held over a bowl of iced water, so it drops through as short, worm-like jellies; let them firm up, then drain.
- Simmer the adzuki beans in the remaining water until soft, about 40 minutes, and sweeten lightly.
- Melt the palm sugar with a splash of water into a syrup, and mix the coconut milk with the salt.
- Layer crushed ice, the jelly noodles and cooked beans in a glass, then pour over the coconut milk and palm sugar syrup to serve.
