Instructions
Prepare the Ribena glutinous rice mixture
  1. In a mixing bowl, pour in Ribena blackcurrant sparkling and glutinous rice flour. Whisk till it’s well incorporated into smooth batter.
Assemble the tart and steam
  1. Heat up the steamer. Wrap the lid with a towel. #Tips: This will prevent the water from dropping to the tart as it steams.
  2. Scoop 15g yam paste into the centre of the tartlet shell. Spread it out and flatten it tightly with a tea spoon.
  3. Pour in the glutinous rice batter till it’s ¾ filled. #Tips: The glutinous rice batter will expand as it steams. Hence, filling it to ¾ will prevent it from overflowing.
  4. Place in the tarts onto the steamer and steam at high heat for 1 hour. Do check the water level every 15 mins, top up as required.
  5. After steaming, let it cool down for at least 15 mins before serving.

  3. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool. Cling wrap and leave it in room temperature till it’s ready to be used.
