Wajik

Wajik or wajid is a traditional sticky rice cake originating from Java. It's usually made with a combination of glutinous rice, palm sugar, coconut milk, pandan leaves, and salt. The glutinous rice is soaked, washed, steamed, and cooked in a skillet with coconut milk until it's absorbed.

Pandan leaves are cooked with palm sugar until caramelized, and coconut milk and salt are then added to the mixture. Once the mixture is boiling, sticky rice is stirred in, and wajik is poured into a baking pan. After a few minutes, it's cut into diamond shapes and served.

This sweet is also popular in Brunei and Malaysia. Wajik is often made for special occasions such as weddings.
