Equipment
- blender
- Steamer
- cupcake cups (silicone/paper)
Ingredients
- 1 cup short grain white rice
- ⅘ cup milk (About ¾cup + 1 tbsp. You can also use soy milk, almond milk, or oat milk instead.)
- 2 tbsp sugar
Instructions
- Place uncooked short grain white rice in a fine mesh strainer, rinse under cold running water to wash of the dust. Drain the rice, put it in a bowl and add enough water to cover it, soak for at least 2 hours (can do overnight).
- Drain the rice, add soaked rice, milk, and sugar to a blender. Top with lid, blend on "smoothie mode" or on high speed for 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the mixture to silicone or paper cupcake cups. Fill each cup about 80% full. You should be able to fill about 10 cupcake cups.
- Place the filled cupcake cups on a steamer, steam over medium high heat for about 30 minutes.
- 30 minutes later, insert a wooden toothpick into the center of a milk rice cake. If the toothpick comes out with a wet batter, steam the rice cakes for 5 more minutes or until the toothpick comes out to be dry.
- Remove the cupcake cups from the steamer. Allow the steamed milk rice cake to cool for 5 minutes before removing from the cupcake cups.
- Place the steamed milk rice cake in a serving plate, drizzle with honey or sweetened condensed milk. Optionally decorate with goji berries, raisins, or dried cranberries.
