Instructions
Bottom Layer
If you only soak your sticky rice for 2 h, rinse, steam, then bring to boil with enough water, then drain and steam again. But if you soak the sticky rice for all night long (2 nights max), your rice will be broken apart, so all you have to do, rinse, boil with coconut milk and the rest of the ingredients on low fire/heat until coconut milk soaked up, then steam until done. Discard screw-pine leaf, then press cooked rice on round 9 inch pan that is already greased with cooking oil Sprinkle with corn starch then steam again
Custard Layer
Meanwhile, beat eggs and the rest of the ingredients
Pour mixture onto steamed rice, then steam again until custard is firm to the touch
Cool to room temperature, slice, enjoy :)
