Sweet Potato Steam Cake (Kuih) - Homecook
This not a difficult cake (kuih) to make. I tried it the first time without having the rice flour. The final product was gooey and sticky. The second round came out thumbs up when served to a group of 15 folks. I will post the link to the recipe at the end to give credit. Basically follow the instructions.
Some improvements.
1) Get some good sweet potatoes. This with strong smell and taste. Imported Japanese (food taste but the pale yellow is not attractive to the eyes) and Australian ones (excellent orangy final product) may be good.
2) You may want to blend the sweet potatoes esp those local ones (cheap but lacking in the taste and smell department) that can be quite hard and lumpy.
3) Use good quality santan esp box ones. Or less the smell maybe limp.
