Pandan Sweet Cake with Glutinous Rice and Pandan Essence



picture of http://thaifood.about.com

This steamed rice cake is delicious and healthy - light in sugar, high in protein, and low in saturated fat. Like most desserts, this cake calls for sticky rice (also called "sweet rice") and heart-healthy coconut milk. Pandan is a green paste made from pandan leaves (a herb) - which makes it a nice dessert for party. This cake is delicious on its own, either served warm or at room temperature or cool. Or dress it up with fresh fruit and a little toasted coconut.

Ingredients:
1st LAYER:
  • 1 cup of glutinous rice (sticky rice) soaked in water for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 hours
  • 1 ¼ cups of thick coconut milk
  • ¾ tsp of pandan paste/essence
  • 2 tbsp of white or brown sugar
  • A pinch of salt
2nd LAYER:
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 ¼ of cups thick coconut milk
  • ½ cup of white or brown sugar
  • A pinch of salt
  • 2-3 drops of pandan paste/essence
  • 2 tbsp of rice flour
Methodes:
  1. Use a steamer for this cake if you have one. If not, you can assemble one by placing a bamboo steamer or large colander inside a wok or large pot (bamboo steamers work well and can be purchased very cheaply at Asian grocers). Then place a greased cake pan (9 inch) inside the steamer/colander. Make sure to put at least 1 inch of water in the bottom of your wok.
  2. If your cake pan takes up all the room in the steamer (as mine does), leave off the steamer lid. Instead, use the wok cover (or a very large frying pan cover). Make sure the cover is large enough to allow steam to pass from the bottom of the wok over the top of the cake. (To see what this looks like, click on the step-by-step version of this recipe above.)
  3. After soaking the rice (see ingredients), drain the rice and stir it together with the other "First Layer" ingredients. Mix well. Note: The pandan paste/essence will turn your batter green, and will also give your cake a nice flavor.
  4. Pour this mixture into the cake tin and even out the surface with a spoon. Then cover and allow to steam at high heat for 20 minutes. Be sure to add more water to the wok as needed.
  5. While first layer is steaming, prepare second layer. Beat the eggs with a fork for 30 seconds.
  6. Add the coconut milk, sugar, salt, and pandan paste. Lastly, sprinkle the flour over. Beat by hand or with an electric mixer until the batter is more or less smooth.
  7. The first layer is done when the rice has absorbed the liquid. When first layer is cooked, gently press down on it with a fork to even out the layer.
  8. Slowly pour the second layer mixture over the first layer. Now cover and reduce heat to medium. Continue steaming for another 20-30 min, or until the custard has set (an inserted fork should come out clean). Note: your cake tin can be filled up to the rim, as this cake does not rise very much.
  9. An optional step is to the underside of a greased spoon over the surface of the top layer as it is setting (allow it to develop a crust before you do this). If you do this several times, it will even out the layer and give the top a nice sheen.
  10. Allow cake to cool at least 10 minutes before cutting. Serve as is (it's delicious plain) or with a little fresh fruit and a sprinkling of toasted coconut.

How to Make Pempek (Palembang-Indonesian Fish Cake)


This kind of methodes are found on http://www.thejakartapost.com :
  • First, mix minced fish meat with an equal amount of water. Add salt to taste while stirring. Then add a little tapioca (sago) and keep stirring until the mix is smooth. Eventually this forms dough that isn't sticky and can be easily shaped.
  • The way pempek is made influences its texture and aroma, especially during the step of stirring in the tapioca flour to produce the dough. While stirring it is important to avoid trapping air bubbles inside the dough.
  • After the dough has been formed it can be made into various types of pempek or other foods such tekwan, model, celimpungan, or kemplang (chips). Various types of pempek can be made from the dough base.
  • The next step is to cook the dough, whether by boiling, steaming, frying or grilling. It usually takes around 20-90 minutes to boil pempek, especially for pempek lenjer. The aim of boiling is to preserve the essence that develops during the gelatinization process, so that the granules of essence develop and the protein is denaturized. This should be done at 80 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes.
  • The boiling and steaming processes should be closely supervised so that few nutrients are lost. However, the protein, vitamins and minerals from the materials can be dissolved in boiling water or steam, so that the level of nutrients in pempek decreases.
  • After being cooked the pempek is drained and chilled for a little while to ensure it doesn't deteriorate quickly. Pempek has a relatively short shelf life; it can only stand for around three days at room temperature. Kept in a refrigerator, its shelf life can increase to around four weeks. However, if it is vacuum-packed and kept frozen it can be preserved for 40 days or more.
  • If kept too long a skin will form on the surface of the pempek and affect the flavor. Another way to help preserve the pempek is to remove the water that sticks to its surface using a clean cloth. If you're planning to take it on a long journey, sprinkle the surface of the pempek with tapioca flour to keep it dry.
