Ingredients
- 5 eggs
- 150 g sugar
- 225 ml coconut milk
- 5 pandan leaves cut into 1 cm
- 5 tbsp water
Steam Bun:
- 1/2 butter cut into thin slices
- traditional toast
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare pandan juice
- Place panda leaves and water into the chopper. Chop up the pandan leaves. Transfer the mixture into the cheese cloth, squeeze out 100ml of pandan juice.
Step 2: Prepare the kaya
- In a container, add in eggs and sugar. Whisk to combine until the sugar dissolves. Pour in coconut milk and pandan juice, whisk again to achieve a smooth consistency.
- Pour the mixture through a sieve into a metal bowl. Place the metal bowl over a pot of simmering water, stir the mixture continuously until it thickens. Set aside and let cool.
- To achieve a smooth texture, blitz it with a hand blender. Once it has completely cooled down, pack in an air-tight container and keep it in a chiller.
Step 3: Prepare steam bun for a hearty breakfast
- Spread the kaya and place a slice of butter on the bread. Put the bread into the steamer and let it steam for 2 minutes.
- Serve it with a cup of hot tea/coffee and soft-boiled egg.
