作法
- 椰絲與香蘭葉及1/2小匙鹽蒸5分鐘——釋放椰香並確保食安。放涼。棄香蘭葉。
- 於碗中混合糯米粉、在來米粉與鹽。慢慢倒入香蘭汁，再加溫水，以手揉成柔軟可塑麵團——像黏土。視情況每次加一匙水調整。
- 取一小團麵團（約12克）於掌中壓扁。中央放一小匙刨細gula melaka。將邊緣捏起，於頂部捏緊密封。雙手搓圓。密封必須完全無縫——融化gula melaka會從縫漏出。
- 寬鍋中將水煮至大滾。每批投入8至10顆onde-onde。它們會先沉後浮——煮約4分鐘。
- 用漏勺撈起。趁熱直接放入椰絲碗——椰絲會黏附濕熱onde-onde。滾動使其厚厚裹上椰絲。
- 於室溫享用，最好4小時內。一口一顆——內餡gula melaka融化又甜；咬一半很容易染衣服。

文化背景
Onde-onde為馬來西亞版印尼klepon——結構相同、名稱不同、香蘭與gula melaka比例略有差異。Gula melaka為馬六甲帶煙燻近乎奶油糖味的椰糖；用一般棕櫚糖會產生較淺、不複雜的內餡。馬來西亞版於每家咖啡店與夜市可見；認真kuih店以香蘭葉杯包裝現做onde-onde。這道菜是東南亞偉大甜點之一；其樂趣架構——液態糖爆破對抗Q彈外皮與粗糙椰絲——難以改進。
