Malaysian sweets, Kuih Seri Muka

Malaysian's delicacies are mostly my husband favs. So what do I do when my sweet-toothed husband requested for this glutinous rice with coconut milk-pandan layer sweetness? asked my greatest cooking sifu the recipe and tadaaa.
 

ingredients:
1) 3 cups glutinous rice
2) 3 cups water
3) pinch of salt
4) 1 cup of wheat flour
5) 1 cup of sugar
6) 7 pandan leaf 
7) coconut milk from 1 coconut. or just simply use 2 packets of instant coconut milk(hehehe)
8) water around 2.5 cups.
9) 1 egg
10) green food coloring

how to cook:
1) clean the rice 3 times(sunnah) and cook it with 3 cups of water.

2) prepare your steamer

3) now lets make the coconut milk-pandan green layer. In a blender, blend your pandan leaves with some water just so it doesnt stuck in the blender. we are making the pandan extract. 

4) pour into a bowl through a sieve and squeeze. put the dregs aside.

5) mix the pandan extract with some coconut milk and measure so that the liquid mixture must be exact 1.5 cups

6) put them inside a clean blender, add sugar and wheat flour. blend. after everything is mixed well, add an egg

7) Into a big bowl, pour in the mixture and add another cup of coconut milk. so your total liquid mixture is 2.5cups. be sure that liquid measurement must be correct or else you will get a deformed green layer :p.. ouh dont forget put some green coloring to your mixture. :)

8) by the time you are preparing the green layer, your rice is already cooked, heats off and let it dry a little and add in 2-3 spoons of coconut milk and pinch of salt.

9) mix altogether and press them in a baking tray to make the white layer. youre pressing by your hand ,so wrap your hand with a small plastic bag and a little cooking/olive oil to avoid the stickiness. note that rice should be still hot while youre pressing it into the tray. so please use a folded newspaper/paper towel as your insulator. fold it and put inside your plastic bag and press firmly.

10) make several holes using fork and add a liiiittle layer of oil (this method is to separate white perfectly from the green layer)

11) put tray inside the steamer and pour in all the liquid part and steam around 1hour+

12) open the lid upon cooked






bon appetit!
