Rice balls with poached eggs in coconut milk (Bua lawy - khai waan)

Ingredients :
2 cup glutinous rice
500 grams sugar
1 cup coconut cream
5 cup water
50 fresh or canned longans
1/2 teaspoon salt
Method :
1. Cook the glutinous rice until done and clear.
2. Add sugar into the cooked glutinous rice.
3. When sugar has all dissolved, add the longans.
4. Mix the coconut cream with salt, stir until salt has dissolved. Place over low heat until it starts boiling, then remove from the heat.
Secret tips :
- Wash the glutinous rice twice, put in a pot with water. Place on medium heat and boil until cooked through.
- Add the sugar and boil until completely dissolved, then add the longans. Bring to the boil once again, then turn off the heat.
- Mix the coconut cream and salt together, stir until well - combined. Bring to the boil over low heat, then remove from the heat. Serve the rice pudding with longans with some of the salted coconut cream on top.
Tip : The rice pudding with longans will be more aromatic if the jasmine - flavored water is used instead of water.
