👩🍳 Instructions
- 1 Mix the rice flour with the salt
- 2 Pour in the water little by little while rubbing the mixture with your hands until it has a texture like damp sand (it should hold together when pressed but still crumble easily)
- 3 Divide the dough into two parts — color one green, leave the other plain white
- 4 Mix the grated coconut into each portion of dough
- 5 Prepare small molds or bowls lined with banana leaves
- 6 Fill each mold halfway with the white dough, pressing it down firmly
- 7 Sprinkle shredded palm sugar in the center
- 8 Top with the green dough, pressing down firmly again
- 9 Steam for 15-20 minutes over high heat
- 10 Remove and serve warm or cold
💡 Tips
• The rice flour needs to be rubbed and worked well so the texture is just right — like damp sand
• Good-quality palm sugar makes the awug taste so much better
• It's best enjoyed warm, while the palm sugar is still a little melted
