It’s my first time making no-egg steamed cake with blended rice flour. There is no egg needed for this recipe. However, yeast that is active and the right temperature are very important. My room temperature was 30 degrees Celsius when I made these cakes.
1. Apam Nasi with Leftover Rice
Ingredients:
1 Cup cold leftover rice
1/2 to 3/4 Cup sugar (adjust the sweetness according to your liking)
1 1/2 Cup water
1 Cup rice flour
1 Cup plain flour
1 Tsp instant yeast
Cooking oil to grease the mould
Steps:
- Blend rice, sugar and water as smooth as you can in a food processor or blender.
- Pour in the rest of the ingredients (including the yeast, I forgot to put in and added later, it still worked) in a food processor or blender until smooth.
- Pour the batter into a bigger bowl and proof for 2 hours or until the batter doubles its size.
- Stir the batter to release the air.
- Fill in the mould with the batter. It’s OK to fill it to the brim. It won’t overflow.
- Boil the water in the steamer.
- Once the water is boiling, put the filled moulds into the steamer.
- Cover and steam for 10 minutes with high heat.
- Once cooked, remove from steamer and let it cool before removing from the mould.
- Serve.

Luckily it was a PR kit so I didn’t waste my money.
the formula was much softer compare to Etude’s. It was OK if you’re looking to achieve faint line colour on your waterline. However, it is still not as soft as an eyeliner pencil. Hence, not quite recommended for that as you’ll need more force to get the colour pay-off.
