SWEET RICE CAKE RECIPES

Steps:

• Soak rice in 3 1/2 cups water overnight.
• Combine rice with coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a rice cooker or heavy non-stick pot over medium low heat, stirring frequently until fully cooked. Add a little more water if needed. If you are using a rice cooker, keep cooker on warm setting until rice is cooked.
• Line a 9x13x2 inch pan with foil greased with butter.
• Transfer rice to pan and spread evenly; smoothing the top with the back of a spoon. Set aside.
• Combine flour and 4 tablespoons water in a small cup and stir to make a slurry and set aside.
• Combine brown sugar, butter, evaporated milk, and milk in a non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture comes to a boil.
• Stir in flour mixture and whisk until sauce has thickened and is smooth.
• Spread over rice evenly.
• Brown top under broiler for 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Do not burn.
• Let cool at room temperature until firm and cut into pieces with a plastic knife.
• I decrease the sugars by 1/2 cup and cut the salt to 1/2 tsp as I do not like very sweet desserts. Sweet rice is available in Asian markets. The short grain sweet rice is normally used. Long-grained glutinous rice is used by Thai's for sweet sticky rice. Coconut milk can be purchased canned or frozen.

Steps:

• Use a 9 x 13 Pan or for thicker Cake use a Square Pan. Spray lightly with Pam or cooking spray.
• Mix sugar and butter together. Add eggs.
• Add Sweet Rice Flour, baking powder, and milk. Mix all ingredients well.
• Preheat Oven to 325 F. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour. It will raise slightly and be spongy to the touch. Ovens vary on time, depending on whether you have Gas or Electric.
• Baking Tip: I purchase my Sweet Rice Flour at Oriental, Korean stores, Speciality Aisle in grocery store or whole food markets, although you might find it in some grocery stores.
