Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Heat coconut milk over medium-high heat in a small pot until it just begins to bubble, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Combine water, cornstarch, and tapioca starch in the empty coconut milk can; stir until all starches are dissolved.
Step 3
Add water and starch mixture to coconut milk, stirring gently. Keep mixing until thoroughly combined, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in well beaten egg yolk. Keep cooking pudding over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds to prevent it from burning and sticking to the bottom of the pan. Add pandan and salt; stir for 30 seconds more. Remove from heat and let settle until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.
