  • Preparation: 15 min
  • Cooking: 20 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (227 g)
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Diets: Vegan, Gluten-free, Dairy-free

Ingredients

  • 45 g Rice flour
  • 12 g Cornstarch
  • 25 g Sugar, brown
  • 125 g Water
  • 20 g Red bean paste, sweetened

Method

  1. Whisk the rice flour and cornstarch with half the water until completely smooth, with no lumps.
  2. In a small pot, dissolve the brown sugar in the remaining water and bring to a gentle boil.
  3. Pour the hot syrup into the flour slurry in a thin stream, whisking constantly, to make a smooth, pourable batter.
  4. Divide the batter between 2 small oiled heatproof cups and spoon the sweetened red beans over the top of each.
  5. Steam over boiling water for 18-20 minutes, until the cakes turn glossy, translucent at the edges and set in the centre.
  6. Cool to room temperature before unmoulding; the cakes firm up and turn pleasantly springy as they cool.
