- 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
- Makes 1 piece; multiply by 15 for a full tray. Soak the glutinous rice for at least 2 hours, or overnight, then drain.
- 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.
- 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.
- Pour the custard over the rice layer and steam for 20-25 minutes until just set.
- Cool completely, ideally a few hours, before cutting into a neat piece so the custard layer holds together.
