Thai Dessert
2 cups rice flour
1 cup sugar
2 16 ounce cans coconut milk
1 teaspoon salt
Save two tablespoons of the flour and mix the rest with water, 1/2 can of coconut milk and some water to make medium blended mixture. Also mix the rest of the coconut milk with salt and the two tablespoons of rice flour. Pour the first mixture in small cups about 1 inch diameter. Make sure to leave about 1/4 of the cup for the topping. Steam the cupped mixture for about ten minutes before adding the topping mixture. Continue steaming the cups for another 10 minutes. Take the steamer our of the heat and let it cool down to room temperature. When serving, use a small and thin spatula to take out the dessert. From the side, there is two layers of the cup shaped dessert. The body should have dull white color while its topping should be whiter. The body tastes sweet as contrast and complementary, with the topping which is salty.
