Bak Zhangs

[mersaylee]

Actually, I wonder why not cook the glutinous rice with the pandan leaves like nasi lemak then wrap with the ingredients them press it into a pyramid shape mould instead of fill, wrap, steam them unwrap again? I like to eat but dislike the oily yet sticky unwrap part of the process 😁

If that’s the case maybe @BabyBlade can lock this thread to prevent others from posting on passé topic?

after you cook the glutenous rice they all stick together.. then if you want to wrap it in the bamboo leaf you need to separate out the rice which will be messy leh. 

before it is cooked at least it is still in the unsticky form.

The idea is to totally omit the wrap and unwrap part with the pandan leaves 😁

Can wear food gloves to unwrap .. hands won't be oily and the sticky rice won't stick to your hands. But environmentally-unfriendly lah .. 🤣

Cravings settled. OMG the hae bee hiam one is nice. Other is Nonya zhang.

 

The leaves,  looks very much like the "pandan" leaf I was talking about. The color,  thickness and grain line definitely does not look like those bamboo leaves use to wrap other bak chang.
