Step 1

Wash black sticky rice and soak for 4-6 hours. If you soak it for a shorter amount of time or skip this step, you will need to increase the cooking time.

Step 2

After soaking, rinse rice and put in a pot. Tie pandas leaves into a knot, put in the same pot. Add salt and water, bring to a boil. Reduce to low - medium-low heat, cover and cook for 20 minutes.

Step 3

After 20 minutes, add honey, stir and then cover, cook for 5-10 more minutes or until rice is soft and the pudding is glossy and thick as you like.

Step 4

Transfer to a bowl and let it cool to room temperature. Whisk yogurt until smooth. Put 1 part black sticky rice pudding and 2 parts yogurt in serving glasses or bowls. The ratio of rice pudding and yogurt is customizable. Add crushed ice and honey if desire.
