Instructions:
(Hung choa nein gao) Line a 9-inch round
cake pan with plastic wrap. Set aside. Sift sweet rice flour once
and set aside. Break sugar into pieces in a mixing bowl and pour the
warm water over it. Stir with a wooden spoon to dissolve sugar.
Gradually add flour and stir until the batter is smooth. You may
need to add a little more warm water. Scrape batter into prepared
cake pan and smooth top with a spatula. Decorate top of cake with
dates. Set up a steamer, using either a bamboo steamer over a wok or
one improvised by putting a metal rack in a stock pot. Place cake
pan in steamer or on rack and fill pot with boiling water to within
two inches of bottom of cake pan. Cover and steam cake about 1 hour
over high heat. Be sure to check water level frequently and
replenish as needed. Cake is done when firm to the touch. Remove
from steamer and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Let cool. Serve at room
temperature or cold. May be covered with plastic wrap and
refrigerated up to one week. Cold slices also may be pan-fried in a
little oil until both sides are crispy. Serves 16-20. Note:
Water-ground glutinous rice flour and jujube dates are available in
Asian markets. Serving size 16NOTES : Cal 211.8 Total Fat 0.4g
