- Hello dear viewers!
Today we are making Bánh Bò Hấp, a Vietnamese steamed rice cake (sometimes translated as 'cow cake' as bò can also mean cow!). These are different from the similar Chinese white sugar sponge cake (白糖糕) in its use of coconut milk.
These rice cakes are so bouncy, fluffy, and chewy while having such a gorgeous, interesting jelly-like honeycomb texture. These are always very popular with children because of their fun colours and spongy texture. You can leave them uncoloured if you wish, or you can use pandan paste or your choice of food colouring you like!
These great on their own, but even better served with coconut milk (salted and sweetened for more flavour) and roasted sesame seeds.
Ingredients:
♡50ml warm water
♡2 teaspoons active dry yeast
♡400g rice flour
♡35g tapioca starch
♡500ml water
♡250g sugar
♡400ml coconut milk
♡vegetable oil, for greasing moulds
Optional:
♡pandan paste
♡pink food colouring
Serve with:
♡Coconut milk (can put pinch of salt and sugar for more flavour)
♡Sesame seeds (can roast first for more flavour)
Enjoy!
Made it yesterday came out great ❤ thank you
I’m starving for them rn and I have some at the moment but I’m just waiting for my iron pills to absorb which takes around 2 hours. Ahhhh why am I doing this to myself as I’m watching this I’m craving it even more.
How long do you steam a batch for?
Can I use coconut cream than milk?
Sugar dissolves with coconut milk ,fresh coconut milk or box coconut milk?
Can or box coconut works. Mix coconut milk with sugar in a small pot, bring it up in temperature and stir. Do not let it boil…just heat up enough to melt the sugar and take off stove top, cool to room temp. Then use it. Hope this helps.
How much water you used to dissolve the yeast
Wahh! This looks really good ! I’m very excited to try and make this for my Vietnamese boyfriend - thank you so much for the recipe (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎)
Hi Jenn - what is the size of your molds?
is coconut milk necessary or I can do this without coconut milk?
Coconut milk is necessary :)
@@MsJennsKitchen can I use whole milk instead?
I've never tried it with whole milk...the results will be different. Coconut milk has a higher fat percentage and more flavour.
@@MsJennsKitchen ok thanks...I will try with both then....In our country we call this "chitoi pitha" or " dudh chitoi pitha"....We don't use coconut, yeast and tapioca flour....I tried making it in our traditional way and it was epic fail...Its the most difficult thing to make....
No worries, it'll take practice to get it right! My first time was also an epic fail 0:) Good luck on your next try!
Can you tell me where you got your cute mold? Thank you.
I got it off Amazon a while ago, you should be able to find something if you search for "individual tart molds" 🙂
May I know y u put a piece of cloth under the cakes on the upper tier?
Great question! It's not necessary, but because I use a two-tier steamer, I find that the cloth helps catch the drips of steam from falling onto the cakes on the bottom layer (and creating dents on the surface of the poor rice cakes!) 😅 So yes, not necessary if you're steamer is single-tiered!
@@MsJennsKitchen oh thanks for ur reply. Was looking for a solution as well... But wouldnt water drip from under the base of the top tier as well?
Lol yes, it still drips a little. From more experience, it seems like the best solution is to use a single-tiered steamer and wrap the lid in cloth! 👍🏼
