This traditional Thai celebration dessert is made by steaming alternating layers of white and pandan-green batter. Its nine layers reflect the belief that the number nine brings prosperity. Cooking each layer separately takes patience and careful timing; once cooled and sliced, the layers remain distinct.
Whisk the rice flour, tapioca starch, coconut milk, sugar and salt until smooth. Divide the mixture in two and color one half green with the pandan extract.
Grease a square pan and place it in a steamer, then bring the water in the steamer to a boil.
Pour in thin layers of white and green batter alternately, steaming each layer for 8 minutes. Repeat until you have nine layers in total.
Let the cake cool completely before removing it from the pan. If removed while hot, the layers will fall apart.
Slice with a sharp, wet knife. Wet the blade before each cut to prevent the layers from sticking together.
Make sure each layer is fully cooked and set before pouring the next. Partly cooked layers will mix together.
Pandanlı özütü marketimde bulamadığım için birkaç damla yeşil gıda boyası ve az miktarda matcha ile renklendirmeye çalıştım, ama koku tamamen kayboldu ve tadı beklediğimden çok farklı oldu. Bir sonraki sefer gerçek pandan bulana kadar bekleyeceğim.
Dokuz katmanı tek tek buharda pişirmek gerçekten sabır istiyor, her katman için tam 8 dakika beklemek yerine gözümle karar vermeye çalıştım ve katmanlar eşit kalınlıkta çıkmadı. Yine de tadı harika oldu, ailem çok sevdi.
