Ingredients

Bottom layer

400 grm of glutinous rice - wash and soak for at least 4 hours or overnight

230 ml of coconut milk

1. Prepare the steamer. Combine glutinous rice, salt and coconut in a square or round cake pan. Mix well. Place the screwpine/pandan leaves on top of the rice and steam over rapidly boiling water for about 30–35 minutes or until cooked through.

2. Discard pandan leaves. Fluff up the rice, and then press rice firmly down with a banana leaf or aluminum foil until it is compact. Return it to the steamer.

3. For the topping, stir eggs and sugar until well combined. Add the coconut milk and the rest of the ingredients. Strain the batter to remove any lumps.

4. Divide the batter into 3 equal portions. One portion adds a few drop of red coloring, another one with yellow and the last one with green or pandan paste.

5. Scratch the surface of the steam rice lightly with a fork. Pour in the first (red) layer of the batter on top of the rice. Steam over a low heat for 5-7 minutes or until set.

6. Before pouring the second (yellow) layer scratch the surface lightly with a fork. Steam until set and followed by the last (green) layer. Steam for another 7 minutes.

I grow up with business women.....  My mum sell  food and work at a keropok factory at the same time... We are trained to be independent especially when we are hungry ! 

Me and hubby decide to give a chance to our kids to make their own meal if they want! At least they can express their talent..Who knows our kids can be like ...Hugh Fearnley or Chef Wan! Insya Allah..
