班兰喜粄(Pandan Hee Ban)

客家人叫这糕  - 喜粄。 

 原味喜粄的口感软中带Q,  有着一股淡淡的米香味。

加了班兰汁的喜粄，

除了多了班兰的甜香，也在外貌上添加自然的翠绿。

一道简单操作，但是又美味可口的包点。

吃惯清淡口味的你，肯定对它爱不释口，

一个接一个，啃个不停，一点也不奇怪。

至于重口味的，涂上咖椰（kaya)或果酱，

配上它那弹牙的口感，相信还是会获得你的青睐的。

The Hakka people call this steam bun as "Hee Ban"

The difference between normal steam bun and hee ban ,

is the chewy texture contributed by the glutenous rice flour.

Pandan Hee Ban

Ingredients:  (12 pieces):

130g glutinous rice flour

150g plain flour 

70g fine sugar

15g corn oil

3g yeast (mix with some water)

200g pandan juice (12pandan leaves + 200g water,blend into pandan juice)

Banana leaves (cut into round shapes)

Method:

1.  In a big bowl add in yeast water  glutinous rice flour, flour and sugar. Then, slowly pour in pandan juice and knead until soft and smooth. Slowly mix in the oil and knead until smooth.

3. Divide dough into small portion (about 50g), shape into small round ball and flatten the dough slightly by pressing with your palm. 

4. Place the dough on greased banana leaf.

5. Rest and proof for 25 -30 min or double in size.

6. Steam over medium high heat for 12mins. Turn the heat off. Open the steamer lid slightly to allow the heat to release slowly. Remove the buns from the steamer after 5 minutes.

Original Hee Ban's texture is soft and chewy. 

The sweetness is mild and full of rice aroma.

However,when pandan juice is added in  ,

the Hee Ban will produce a mild  pandan taste,

and present a more natural light green colour.
