Steamed Honeycomb Cake

Method

1. 1 Grind the yeast into a fine powder and mix it with warm water.
2. 2 Mix rice flour with sugar water and yeast, and let it ferment for 6 hours until the dough develops a slightly sour smell and bubbles appear.
3. 3 Add coconut milk and pandan leaf extract, stirring gently to avoid breaking the air bubbles.
4. 4 Scoop the batter into the small bowls that have been preheated in the steamer.
5. 5 Steam over high heat for 15 minutes until the cake puffs up and cracks into a petal shape.

With an appliance

• Pressure cooker 43 min

  Replace step 5: steam the rice cake in a bowl at low pressure for 7 minutes, then quickly release the pressure without opening the lid midway so that the cake can expand like a flower petal; steps 1–4 remain the same.
