Apem Nasi

steamed rice cake
Servings 0

Ingredients

  • 100 g cooked rice
  • 1 c sugar
  • 1 1/4 c water
  • 2 tsp quick rise instant yeast
  • 2 c rice flour
  • Pandan paste
  • Purple yam flavoring
  • 1 bag unsweetened dessicated coconut
  • A generous pinch up to 1 tsp salt
  • A knotted pandan leaf

Instructions

  • In a food processor, mix rice, water, sugar, and yeast, to combine well. Pour mixture into a bowl, then stir in rice flour until completely combined. Mixture will be thickened.
  • Cover the bowl and let rest for 2-3 H. Yep, you read right. 2 to 3 hours. Batter will be even more thicker.
  • Divide into two, flavor with each flavoring
  • Preheat steamer and brush mold (you can use whatever mold, individuals or bigger molds, whatever you have) with oil.
  • Spoon batter into mold and steam for 15-20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, should you have another steamer, steam the coconut, mixed with salt and add a knotted pandan. You can also do this in microwave, but add water a little, to dampen the coconut. If you don’t have another steamer nor microwave, steam the coconut first, while batter is rising.
  • Enjoy warm is the best, but you can always microwave the cakes should there be leftover, for 40 seconds!
