Ingredients
  

  • 1.2 litre of water 5 cups of water
  • 10 pandan leaves - tied in knots
  • 2 cups of thick coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup of rock sugar or palm sugar
  • 1 medium-sized yam Chinese taro – peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2-3 medium-sized sweet potatoes - peeled and cut into chunks for a colorful presentation, use a mixture of purple, orange, and yellow sweet potatoes
  • 1/4 cup black-eyed beans also called black-eyed peas
  • 3 - 4 bananas - sliced

Instructions
 

  • In boiling water, cook black-eyed beans until soft. About 45-60 minutes.
  • Steam taro & sweet potatoes until tender (but not mushy). About 15 minutes.
  • In a pot, add water and pandan leaves and bring to a boil. Steep until the water is slighty-tinted from the leaves and the pandan fragrance is pronounced.
  • Turn fire to low and add in the rock sugar. Once the sugar dissolves, stir in coconut milk. Then add the rest of the ingredients and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Finally, add sliced banana and let simmer for another 10-15 minutes. Turn off the heat, and it is now ready to be served. If you like a cold version of Bubur Cha Cha, let it cool at room temperature and store in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before serving.
