Through a friend I found out the traditional; Fatt Gao is GF!!!!
Made of cold rice and rice flour only......
Here's the simple recipe ....
A
280gm cold rice
1 tsp flat wine yeast
( available in any Chinese medical Hall )
pound it to fine powder form
B
500gm rice flour
200gm sugar
( you may add another 50-80gm more if you want them sweeter )
560ml water
C
3 tbsp of unflavoured ENO
pinch of salt
Steaming time 15mins
How to :
Place ingredients A into a large glass bowl.
Mix them well
Cover with clingfilm
Let it ferment for 24 hours
Add ingredients B into A .
Mix well and cover back again and let it
ferment for another 12 hours
Once done put into a blender and blend to fine.
Sieve to avoid lumps
Add C mix them well and let it set for a little while
Prepare steaming water on high heat.
Once all completed spoon into moulds.
Size of the Fatt Gao as you desire .
I presented them into small mini cupcake size ....
that required 5-8 mins of steaming time.
If its normal cupcake size, 15-18mins of steaming time.
While steaming DO NOT open the cover....;-)
When you pour the rice batter into the cuppies
please just fill it to 90% .
leave some space for the
rice batter to fatt ar....HUattttt....;-))
Colouring
I use natural colouring
Green - Pandan
Yellow - Tumeric powder
Blue - The blue flower , cant recall whats its name , sorry
Red - Beetroot
Extract its pure juice and add into the rice batter.
Have fun with them.
I usually prepare extra , freeze them.
My kids love them as breakfast.
Try eating them with grated coconut.....yummmmmy !!!!
