LONTONG (Method 2)
(Rice Cakes in Banana Leaves)
Ingredients:
600g rice
7 1/2 cups water
Salt to taste
Method:
- Clean, wash and drain the rice grains.
- Put all the ingredients into a saucepan and boil. A non-stick saucepan
would serve the purpose well as rice tends to stick and burn badly to the bottom
of the pot.
- Stir every 15 minutes, using a wooden spoon to mash the rice grains to ensure
a smooth texture.
- When the water has almost completely evaporated, cook over low heat until it is
completely dry.
- Leave the rice to cool.
- Lay a piece of damp cloth on a tray, put the cooled rice into it, and wrap it up tightly.
- Place another tray on top with a heavy weight in it (to compress the rice into a
solid cake) for 2-3 hours.
- Remove the ricecake from the cloth and cut into desired serving size.
