I had been wanting to make this steamed rice cake for a while but the other day when I wanted to make, I was out of rice flour and I spent half a day trying to make my own rice flour that totally spoiled the entire dish.
Finally this time, with the right proper ingredients, it is good and yummy.
This is with the red bean paste that I blended for the mooncake
Wondering how it taste with strawberry jam, yum yum too...
*Just for the cake itself
- 40g rice flour (A)
- 13 wheat starch (A)
- 55ml water (A)
- 35g sugar (B)
- 115ml water (B)
Method:
- Mixed all ingredients for A till smooth (preferably use a whisk).
- Heat up ingredients B in the double boiler to melt the sugar. Once all sugar dissolved, remove from heat.
- Leave the water to boil.
- Slowly add in item B to the A mixture and stir till even.
- Greased the mould (I uses 4 ramekins, or u can use teacups).
- Pour the mixture into the ramekins or teacups and put it into the boiler and steam for 15-17mins.
- Turn off the fire and leave the cake to cool down.
- Remove from the mould and served with some red bean paste.
* If you dont want to serve it separately, u can just scoop some red bean (cooked till very soft) into the mixture prior to steaming.
