suthè

Suthè is a traditional Southeast Asian dish, particularly popular in Malaysia and Singapore. It is a sweet porridge or dessert made primarily from rice flour, coconut milk, and sugar. The consistency is typically thick and creamy, with a smooth texture.

The preparation of suthè involves cooking rice flour with water or coconut milk until it thickens into a porridge-like consistency. Sugar is then added to sweeten the mixture, and sometimes a pinch of salt is included to balance the sweetness. Common additions to suthè include pandan leaves for fragrance, pieces of banana, or sago pearls. It can be served warm or at room temperature.

Suthè is often enjoyed as a breakfast item, a light dessert, or a snack. Its simple ingredients and comforting nature make it a widely accessible and well-loved dish across various communities in the region. Variations may exist depending on regional preferences, but the core elements of rice flour, coconut milk, and sweetness remain constant. The dish is generally considered to be easily digestible and nourishing.
