Ingredients: 100g cornstarch, 75g water chestnut powder, 12g matcha powder, 400g coconut milk, 70g red bean
Seasoning: Syrup ( 250g sugar, 1000g water)
Steps:
- Rinse red beans and boil with 700g cold water for 1 hour until soft. Drain and set aside.
- Mix matcha powder, water chestnut powder and cornstarch in a big bowl. Add 1/3 coconut milk and keep stirring until the mixture is smooth. Then pour the remaining coconut milk in.
- Making syrup: put sugar and water to the boil. Turn off heat and let cool to 90C. Pour syrup into the coconut milk mixture and stir. Add red bean and mix thoroughly. Spread in a loaf pan.
- Bring to a boil over high heat for 30 minutes. Let stand to cool. Cut into pieces and serve.
Tips:
- Syrup is boiled at low temperatures. Otherwise the mixture will be too sticky that cannot spread smoothly and evenly in pan.
- If you find the batter too thin, simply heat it slightly over the oven. Keep stirring while heated.
- Matcha powder will provide a strong matcha flavor and a more vivid green color, however, you can use green tea powder as you like.
