  • Put sugar with balance 150ml water in pot and put in pandan leaves and bring it to boil and leave aside.
  • Remove pandan leaves and pour syrup into rice flour mixture and mix well.  Sieve and leave it aside to cool.
  • Dissolve instant yeast with 1 tbsp warm water and add nto rice flour mixture and stir well.
  • Leave mixture aside for 2 hours for yeast to take effect.

  • Grease a tin and heat wok/steamer with water till boil and place the empty tin in wok/steamer.
  • Once Tin is heated, pour the mixture into the tinand cover lid and steam it for 20 minutes till done.

You can use brown sugar instead of white sugar if you want to have a brow sugar steam cake instead ok :)

  1. I don't know what pandan leaves are and tried to learn about it through the Internet. It says I might find it in the frozen section of the store, but if I can't, is it okay to not use it? If it's just for flavoring, may I use vanilla extract instead?
