  • 105 g ERAWAN BRAND Glutinous Rice Flour
  • 80 g water
  • 20 g sugar

Mixture B – Sesame caramel and praline

  • 100 g sugar
  • 50 g black sesame
  • 20 g corn oil
  • 1 g salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

Cooking Method

Sesame caramel and praline

  • In a saucepan, add ⅓ of the sugar and heat it gently until melted. Add the second ⅓ of sugar and melt. Once melted, add in the last ⅓ of sugar and start caramelizing until the desired colour.
  • Once the colour reaches amber, add in the baking powder and stir vigorously followed by adding in the black sesame and salt.
  • Remove from heat and pour the caramel onto a piece of silicone mat.
  • Let it cool down and snap the caramel into smaller pieces.
  • Process it in a processor. Once smooth, reserve some of the caramel dust for garnishing later.
  • Continue to process the rest of the caramel and add corn oil.
  • Blend until a fine paste is achieved.
