18cm Pandan Chiffon (WITHOUT steam bake)

A colleague from another department ordered this. Thanks Mr Goh!
The struggles i have in making chiffons due to the naughty oven. haha. Hubby told me this pandan chiffon looks fine, yes it is definitely ok with right texture. Personally i prefer naked looking chiffon. I must admit, chiffons really require tender loving care. Due to the nature of the cake, it is considered an above intermediate level of baking comparing to bread loaf. =)

Anyhow, i really appreciate family and friends who supported my mini bakery. #mrstanthebakingmama started in December 2015, specially for my late dad who passed away on 30 March 2016. Of cuz, it was also my passion in baking, and now cooking. (perhaps i have a little of my parents and grandparents who cook well) ps. i have a chef grand-dad oh. hehe

Mango Sticky Rice

My first attempt on Mango Sticky Rice =)
Success!


Mango sticky rice
Servings: 4

Time: 1 hr
Skill: Intermediate

Ingredients:
2 mangoes
250g glutinous rice
2 strips pandan leaves (cut into 4cm)
200ml coconut milk
50g sugar
¼ tsp salt
20g white sesame (toasted)

Coconut Cream:
150ml coconut milk
1 tbsp sugar
⅛ tsp salt
¾ tsp tapioca starch

Steps:

Wash and rinse 250g glutinous rice until the water is clear. Soak the glutinous rice in water for 6 hours or overnight.

Drain the water.

Steam the glutinous rice over a muslin cloth for 15 to 20 minutes until it’s cooked.

While the glutinous rice is steaming, prepare the coconut cream and sugar mixture.

In a pot add in 200ml coconut milk, ¼ tsp salt, 50g sugar and bring it to a gentle simmer.

Gently stirring until all the sugar has dissolved. DO NOT LET IT BOIL.

When glutinous rice is cooked, remove pandan leaves and transfer rice to mixing bowl

In a cutting and gentle turning motion, slowly drizzle in the coconut mixture in.

The glutinous rice will absorb all liquid, resulting in a glistening pearly rice sheen.

Dry toast 20g sesame seed until . Set aside to cool.

Pour 150ml coconut cream into a sauce pot. Stir in 1 tbsp sugar, ¼ tsp salt and ¾ tsp tapioca starch. Bring to a scalding point. Stir gently until sugar dissolves and coconut mixture thickens.

Serve glutinous rice with sliced mangoes and drizzle coconut cream on top

Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on rice
