西米糕 Steamed Sago Pudding

My husband asked me to make this pudding for a long time. Therefore, I made this on his birthday day.



Ingredients: (4 servings)
50g sago
2 tbsp water chestnut powder 馬蹄粉
3 tbsp water
30g sugar
1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
120g red bean paste
tools:
egg tarts moulds or aluminum cups

Directions:

1. Bring 1.5 measuring cup of water to boil (not within ingredient listed). Add sago anf cook for 10 mins. Turn heat off. Stir. Cover pot. Let stand for 15 minutes until sago is transparent. If it is still not fully transparent, stir and then boil it for 5 mins. Turn heat off and cover pot. Let stand for another 10 mins until sago is fully transparent. Repeat steps if your sago is bigger in size. Drain. Rinse to cool sago off. Drain and set aside.
2. Combine water chestnut powder with water. Sift to remove sediments. Pour into sago. Add sugar and vegetable oil. Mix well
3. Grease moulds with oil. Pour sago batter to fill moulds to 70% full. Add some red bean paste. Add remaining sago batter. Put into steamer. Steam over high heat for 8-10 mins until transparent.
