Steam Nian Gao 蒸年糕 (2)

A friend shared with me this Steam Nian Gao 蒸年糕 (2)and I decided to give this a try.  Since I did not have coconut sugar, I substitute it with molasses.You might be surprised why I make Nian Gao in this period whereby Lunar New Year is over.  Well, recently I tried out a dessert and like it.
So I made this batch just to test out a dessert and hopefully it was close.
I love how convenient to use the instant pot to make nian gao.  So stress free.

What you need:
300g glutinous rice flour
60g wheat starch 澄面粉
a pinch of salt
140g molasses130g brown sugar
135g water
270g coconut milk
45ml milk 

Method:
Bring a pot of water to a boil and pour it onto banana leaves to soften.
Grease and line a 7" pan with banana leaves with oil. 
Mix glutinous rice flour and wheat starch in a mixing bowl.
In a pot, melt molasses and brown sugar in water.
Sieve the sugar mixture and add in coconut milk and milk.
Gently pour into the flour mixture.  Stir until lump free.
Sieve the batter into the prepared container.  Foil wrap.
Pour 2 cups water into the instant pot.
Place the mold onto the trivet.
Pressure cook it at High pressure for 38 mins and Natural release.

Enjoy!
