Kuih Bingka Beras (White rice cake) ~ 肥猪肉

Kuih Bingka Beras or baked rice cake is a Nyonya kuih, a South East Asian snack.  The ingredients are simple and easily available in most household.  In Cantonese it’s called ‘Fei Chu Yuk’ which literally translates to ‘Fat Pork Belly’.  Why the name one may ask?  It’s because the plain white piece of kuih with a slightly burnt top resembles a piece of fat pork belly.  I used to like this kuih when I was a kid because it’s soft and full of coconut flavour.  This is my first attempt and I must say that I am very pleased with the result.  Give this recipe a try to snack on for tea or for breakfast.
