Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 12 pieces
Ingredients
- 200g ripe bananas, mashed
- 150g rice flour
- 100g sugar
- 200ml coconut milk
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Measure out 200g of ripe bananas, 150g of rice flour, 100g of sugar, 200ml of coconut milk, 1 tsp of baking powder, and 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract. Ensure the bananas are well-ripened for optimal sweetness and flavor.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. You can use a fork or a potato masher for this step. Aim for a creamy consistency without any large lumps.
- Add the sugar to the mashed bananas and mix well until the sugar is fully incorporated. This will help to enhance the sweetness of the mixture.
- Pour in the 200ml of coconut milk and add 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract. Stir the mixture until all the wet ingredients are well combined with the banana and sugar mixture.
- In a separate bowl, combine the 150g of rice flour and 1 tsp of baking powder. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring continuously. Mix until you achieve a smooth batter without any lumps. The batter should be thick but pourable.
- Prepare your steaming equipment. If using a steamer, fill it with water and bring it to a boil. If you don’t have a steamer, you can use a large pot with a steaming rack or a heatproof dish placed on top of a steaming setup.
- Grease your steaming molds or cups lightly with oil to prevent sticking. You can use small cups or silicone molds for this recipe.
- Pour the batter into the prepared molds, filling them about 3/4 full to allow for expansion during steaming.
- Carefully place the molds in the steamer. Cover the steamer with a lid, ensuring it is tight to keep the steam inside. Steam the kueh over medium heat for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once cooked, remove the molds from the steamer and let them cool for a few minutes. Gently remove the kueh from the molds and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the Eggless Banana Huat Kueh Kuih warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious and fluffy treats!
Tips
- Banana Selection is Key: Choose ultra-ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots. The riper the banana, the sweeter and more flavorful your kueh will be.
- Consistency Matters: When mashing bananas, aim for a smooth, lump-free texture. This ensures an even distribution of flavor throughout the kueh.
- Steaming Secrets: Ensure your steamer is preheated and create a tight seal with the lid to trap steam. This helps create the signature fluffy texture.
- Don't Overfill: Fill your molds only about 3/4 full to allow room for the kueh to rise and expand during steaming.
- Testing for Doneness: Use the toothpick method – if it comes out clean, your kueh is perfectly cooked.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow the kueh to cool slightly before removing from molds to maintain their delicate structure. Pro Tip: These kueh are best enjoyed fresh and can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
