Kanom Tuay (Thai Steamed Cake)

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rice flour
  • 1/4 cup tapioca starch
  • 1 cup palm sugar
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup thin coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 10 pandan leaves, knotted
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Make the batter. In a large bowl, combine the rice flour, tapioca starch, palm sugar, and 1 cup of coconut milk. Beat until smooth.
  2. Steam the batter. Grease 20 ramekins. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into each ramekin. Steam for 10-15 minutes, or until the tops are set.
  3. Make the topping. In a small saucepan, combine the remaining 1/4 cup of coconut milk, 1/4 cup of water, and the pandan leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Assemble the kanom tuay. Remove the kanom tuay from the steamer and let cool slightly. Top with the coconut milk topping. Serve immediately.

Tips

  • For a richer flavor, you can use coconut cream instead of coconut milk.
  • To make the kanom tuay more colorful, you can add a few drops of food coloring to the batter.
  • You can also add other ingredients to the batter, such as chopped nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chips.

Enjoy!
