  • Choose high-quality glutinous rice flour: Opt for finely milled glutinous rice flour for a smooth and delicate texture in your tiger candy.
  • Use fresh coconut milk: Fresh coconut milk imparts a rich and creamy flavor to the tiger candy. If using canned coconut milk, ensure it is of good quality.
  • Be patient during the steaming process: Steaming the tiger candy takes time, typically around 45 minutes to an hour. Avoid lifting the lid or peeking during this process to prevent the candy from collapsing.
  • Cool the tiger candy thoroughly: Once steamed, allow the tiger candy to cool completely before slicing and serving. This helps it set and firm up.
