  • Preparation: 125 min
  • Cooking: 45 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (118 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian, Gluten-free, Dairy-free
  • Contains: alcohol, egg

Ingredients

  • 40 g Rice, glutinous
  • 45 g Coconut milk, canned
  • 0.5 g Salt
  • 15 g Eggs, whole, raw
  • 12 g Sugar
  • 5 g Rice flour
  • 0.3 g Vanilla extract

Method

  1. Makes 1 piece; multiply by 15 for a full tray. Soak the glutinous rice for at least 2 hours, or overnight, then drain.
  2. Steam the rice with a third of the coconut milk and a pinch of the salt for 20-25 minutes until tender and glossy, then press firmly into a small lined tin to form an even base layer.
  3. Whisk the egg, sugar, remaining coconut milk, rice flour, vanilla (traditionally pandan) and remaining salt in a saucepan, and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened.
  4. Pour the custard over the rice layer and steam for 20-25 minutes until just set.
  5. Cool completely, ideally a few hours, before cutting into a neat piece so the custard layer holds together.
