This recipe is inspired by my childhood breakfast meal. Originally, this Asian breakfast is mainly made from rice flour, coconut milk, and fresh palm sugar syrup. So, to accomodate the more-American kitchen I have now, I modified the ingredients and cooking method. Still, it's a good-tasting and easy breakfast to prepare.
