Make sure you have all these ingredients before you start making your onde onde. Once you have all of them, you can follow these steps:
Step 1 – Preparing the Dough
The first step in making onde onde is to prepare the dough. To do this, you will need to:
Mixing the Flour and Water
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour and salt.
2. Add in the water gradually and mix well until it forms a dough.
3. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This should take about 5-10 minutes.
Shaping the Dough
1. Divide the dough into small balls, around the size of a marble.
2. Flatten each ball with your palms and make a small well in the center.
3. Fill the well with palm sugar and fold the edges of the dough over the sugar to seal it in.
4. Roll the dough between your palms to form a smooth ball. Repeat this process until all the dough is filled with palm sugar.
Step 2 – Boiling the Onde Onde
The second step in making onde onde is to boil them. To do this, you will need to:
Boiling the Water
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
2. Add in the onde onde and cook for around 5-7 minutes or until they float to the surface.
3. Once the onde onde are cooked, remove them from the pot with a slotted spoon and place them in a bowl of cold water for a few seconds. This will help to cool them down and prevent them from sticking together.
Step 3 – Coating the Onde Onde
The final step in making onde onde is to coat them. To do this, you will need to:
Coating with Grated Coconut
1. Spread the grated coconut on a plate.
2. Take each onde onde and roll it in the grated coconut until it is coated evenly.
3. Once all the onde onde are coated, they are ready to serve.
