Put the green beans in the pot, then add ½ cup of filtered water to cook until the green beans are soft. Once the beans are soft, mash them.

Step 2Mix yellow and brown powder

Put the whole rice flour, tapioca starch, cornstarch, coconut milk powder, 95g sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt, 2 vanilla tubes, eggs, condensed milk, coconut milk (the amount of powder in the green and brown recipe) . Mix well then use a sieve.

Mix the flour

If the flour is finely sifted, it will not be lumpy when eaten, and the cake will be cooked evenly, not raw in places where the dough is lumpy. After sifting, divide the flour mixture into 2 equal parts.

One portion will be mixed with 50g of pandan leaf juice for a green color. One part you will mix 50g of water with cocoa powder to brown. After mixing the colors, remember to sift again.

Step 4Steamed buns

You take a steamer and bring the water to a boil. When the water boils, start steaming the cake. The brown color will be steamed first. About 15 minutes, when the brown color is ripe, you can use a toothpick to make a few cuts on the cake, so it won’t separate the layers.

Three powder colors when finished mixing

Put the yellow dough in, steam for 15 minutes, then test the cake, slit the cake and add the green dough. With this layer, you will steam for 20 minutes to make the whole cake more delicious.

During the steaming process, you should wrap a towel over the lid of the steamer to prevent water from falling into the cake, making the surface of the cake pitted. When the cake is finished steaming, wait for the cake to cool and then remove it from the mold.
