How to make Sticky Rice Cake
-
Roasting the flour
Put the sticky rice flour and tapioca flour into a large bowl, use a spoon to mix the two types of flour together.
Place a large pan on the stove, pour the mixed sticky rice flour and tapioca flour into it, and roast in the pan along with fresh pandan leaves.
Stir continuously until the pandan leaves turn a mossy green color, then the flour is cooked. Turn off the heat and let the flour cool down.
-
Cooking the syrup
Place a pot of water on the stove, do not add too much water.
Then add sugar. Use a spoon to dissolve all the sugar in the water.
Cook until the sugar thickens slightly, when the sugar pulls threads, take the pot off the heat, open the lid to let the sugar cool.
Before the sugar cools, you need to add a little lemon juice and grapefruit flower water as well.
Then use a spoon to mix the ingredients evenly together.
-
Mixing the flour
Continue to gradually add the roasted tapioca and sticky rice flour mixture into the pot of syrup you just made.
Wear gloves and mix the ingredients until the flour has absorbed all the syrup.
-
Shaping the cake:
Dust a layer of flour over the cake mold.
Then pour the flour mixture along with syrup into the mold, pressing firmly to shape the cake.
Be careful not to move the cake for 15 minutes to allow the batter inside to set, preventing it from breaking or becoming too soft.
After 15 minutes, you can remove the cake from the mold and enjoy it with tea.
