Kuih Talam Pandan (Pandan Tray Cake) | MyKitchen101en

[@MyKitchen101en]

**Green bean/mung bean flour: It is actually the starch of mung bean, but usually labelled as flour. It is not green bean powder ground from whole green bean. You may replace it with Hoen kwee flour which is usually available at supermarket (choose the white colour) if you can't find the mung bean starch.

Hoen kwee flour - same measurement as the Mung bean flour?

[@MyKitchen101en]

Yes, buy the one without colouring, i.e. the white one.

[@zalizahhjibrahim8803]

If i substitute the green bean flour to tapioca flour, does its works?

[@sherina_sim]

I tried today! It taste good. Thank you so much for the recipe. I replaced the mung bean flour to hoen kwe 😍

Thank you for your recipe l first time made follow your recipe and method, it come out sucess and beautifull.

[@rosietheresachoong]

If l want to keep for tomorro do l have to keep in the frige?

[@MyKitchen101en]

Yes, I keep refrigerated, but it will harden when chilled, need to steam again before serving. I usually steam for about 2 minutes, then off the heat and let it sits in the steamer until completely soften.

[@rebeccafoo]

Thank you for sharing your recipe but the aroma and texture is a bit not the same as the best Kuih Talam in Penang. Wonder have to add what in it. But I am very happy as so far this is the best recipe I came across. Thank you again

[@rebeccafoo]

I think I will change the tapioca flour to 50 gm and increase the mung bean powder to 50 gm instead so that it will just like your favorite Kuih Talam in Penang.

[@薇恩-i4k]

Very yummy, thanks for your recipes 😋😋

[@wongliting91]

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! My white layer turned out great! But my green layer did not firmed up nicely, it did not had the slight chewiness or “Q” that a good kuih talam had. The texture was more like the Cantonese raddish cake (萝卜糕). Do you know what I could had possibly done wrongly?

[@MyKitchen101en]

Do you add alkaline water/lye water (kansui)?

[@wongliting91]

MyKitchen101en Thank you for replying! Yes I did, maybe I’ll double up the amount of kan sui and see how it goes, thanks once again!

Can hoen kwe flour replace by corn starch?

Not sure, haven't tried with that yet, you may try.

[@carinelim8858]

我很喜欢这款糕点可是就是做不出我要的软度。看你做的感觉很软可是我照着你的食谱和方式做都没你做的那麽软。所以我想请教以下的问题： 1）煮面糊的浓稠度会影响成品的软硬度吗（会不会浓点就硬点） 2）蒸的时间（太久或不够久）会不会也会影响软硬度 3）你的糕放进冰箱后会变硬吗 谢谢。

[@MyKitchen101en]

应该不会啊。碱水的分量就会影响硬度, 不能多过食谱的分量。上层白色层你可以试试减少椰浆的分量用水代替看看。冷藏后都会变硬, 吃前重新蒸软。

If the green bean powder is green or yellowish in colour, then it is different. The green bean flour here is actually the starch of green bean, "green bean starch" is more accurate, it is white in colour. Green bean powder is ground whole green bean.

[@janicesoo]

I tried the recipe yesterday and use hong kwee flour. It taste good but the green part is sticky. Is it due to I reduce the sugar of 20%?

Steaming for longer should be fine. Do you cook until thickened before steaming?

[@vicking3178]

I did.. I cooked it until very thick

[@MyKitchen101en]

Not sure which part you had gone wrong. Need to wait until it is completely cooled before cutting. The texture is soft chewy but shouldn't be sticky. When cutting, start with sawing motion to break the white layer, then push the knife down.

If left overnight, I usually keep refrigerated. I will steam again for 1-2 minutes, then off the heat and let the kuih sit in the steamer for another 10 minutes until it is heated through again, then let it cools again to room temperature before serving. Do you leave it at room temperature overnight? Is the texture correct when freshly made?

I m using mung bean flour n everything exactly as per the recipe. But still my white layer looks yellowish. Plus the white layer is a bit too soft like cream. May I know wat possible has gone wrong? Thank u so much

[@MyKitchen101en]

Green bean/mung bean flour: It is actually the starch of mung bean, it is white in colour, but usually labelled as flour. It is not green bean powder ground from whole green bean (which is yellowish in colour). You may replace it with Hoen kwee flour which is usually available at supermarket (choose the white colour) if you can’t find the mung bean starch. For thick coconut milk, if you buy from wet market, you may strain it through a piece of cloth to remove the brownish particles

The result will surely be different when you omit one of the ingredient. You may replace with Hoen Kwee flour.

[@MaySwui]

May i know how long does it take for the batter to thicken?

I didn't take down the time but it won't take very long.

[@hoongleong7702]

What can I use to substitute alkaline water?

[@MyKitchen101en]

Haven't tried with other. Alkaline water or lye water is "kansui", which is used to make alkaline dumpling.

[@cherontang]

May I know what is the purpose of Step 5? Why can't put all mixed green layer into pan and let it cook?

[@MyKitchen101en]

You need to cook the mixture until it is thickened before steaming, otherwise the starch will sink to the bottom of the mixture when sitting in the steamer as it won't be cooked thoroughly immediately.

[@MyKitchen101en]

Create an uneven surface on green layer will help both layers sticking together. If your white layer is hard, you may try adding a little bit more water, I used freshly extracted coconut milk, boxed coconut milk with additives may yield slightly different result. When set aside to cool, don't blow the kuih with fan, it will make the top layer hard.
