  • Preparation: 20 min
  • Cooking: 45 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (137 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegan, Gluten-free, Dairy-free
  • Contains: alcohol

Ingredients

  • 20 g Mung beans, dried
  • 20 g Rice flour, glutinous
  • 10 g Tapioca pearls, dry
  • 60 g Coconut milk, canned
  • 25 g Sugar
  • 2 g Vanilla extract

Method

  1. Steam the mung beans until soft, then mash smooth with a little of the sugar; this makes the pale filling layer.
  2. Whisk the rice flour, tapioca pearls, coconut milk, remaining sugar and vanilla into a smooth batter for the second layer.
  3. Ladle a thin layer of one batter into a greased dish and steam 4-5 minutes until just set.
  4. Add a layer of the mung bean mixture, steam 4-5 minutes, then repeat alternating thin layers until the batters are used up, steaming each layer briefly before adding the next.
  5. Steam the finished cake a final 10 minutes, then cool completely before cutting into pieces, which makes slicing much easier.
