Instructions

Prepare the sticky rice base by lightly pounding or pressing the cooked glutinous rice until it becomes cohesive and slightly translucent.

Steam the Cha Lua slices for 2 minutes until warmed through and fragrant.

Steam the fresh spinach until just wilted, about 1 minute, and squeeze out excess moisture.

Mix the mashed sweet potato with a pinch of salt and spread it thinly over the rice cake for a natural, subtle sweetness.

Assemble by layering the warm Cha Lua and wilted spinach atop the rice cake.

Garnish with the crushed almonds for a necessary textural crunch. Serve warm, traditionally eaten by hand.
