Ingredients
- 200 grams of rice flour
- 100 grams of icing sugar
- 175 ml of water
- 1 packet of Eno fruit salt (about 4.3 grams as per packaging)
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- Some permitted food colouring (optional)
Preparation
Step 1
Get ready a steamer, put water and bring to boil under high heat.
For the bamboo basket, put a piece of cellophane sheet on top. Push down the cellophane sheet into the bamboo basket as deeply and as close to the sides as possible. Use a rubber band to tighten the side.
Sift the rice flour, baking powder and icing sugar into a big mixing bowl. Add water and permitted food colouring, stir well . Scrape the sides of the bowl.
Meanwhile, steamed the bamboo basket in the steamer for at least 3-5 minutes. Just before transferring the rice flour batter to the bamboo basket, add Eno fruit salt. Use the balloon whisk to stir until well mixed. Transfer the batter to the bamboo basket. Steam in the steamer (using high heat) for 15-20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. When out of the steamer, take the rice cake out of the bamboo basket and let it cool completely.
