Sweet Cassava ala Thai

I've always loved Thai cuisine. First time I tried this Thai dessert was at the Thai restaurant next to the office building. Fell in love instantly. There are a few versions of recipes for Sweet Cassava ala Thai out there, I believe they are yummy too (coz' basically I love cassava), but then some of them look kinda mix-up with Indonesian dessert dish, we called "Kolak" that is usually served during fasting month or Ramadhan.

So, here it is, the recipe that I truly believe has the exact taste of the one I tried at Siam Thai restaurant :)

Sweet Cassava


Ingredients:
500 gr cassava
500 ml water
125 gr sugar
1/2 tbsp salt

Sauce:
150ml coconut milk
1/8 tbsp salt
1 tsp rice flour
1 pandanus leaf

How to:
1. Boil water, sugar and salt.
2. Put cassava in the boiling water, stir and reduce heat to medium-low.
3. Stir again and wait until the cassava turn to well-boiled color.
4. Sauce: Put all ingredients into a pan and stir well until thick.
5. Put the cassava to a plate and serve with the coconut sauce.

Enjoy!
