Detailed Steps for Making Easy Homemade Chinese Steamed Cake
Add a spoonful of sugar to warm water, add all the yeast, and activate in a warm place until foam forms on the surface.
Add flour () to water () in multiple batches, stir until smooth and slightly thick batter. (Adding flour to water makes it easier to stir into a smooth and fine batter).
Brush a layer of oil on a heat-resistant container (or cover with damp gauze), pour in the batter, cover with a lid or plastic wrap, and ferment in a warm place. (This is the original flavor version).
Repeat step 1, but use a little water. Repeat step 2, replace water with blueberry juice, and add flour.
Gently sprinkle a thin layer of oil on the surface of the white batter, cover with the blueberry batter.
Ferment in a warm place until doubled in size, 40 minutes to 1 hour.
Crush nuts and dried fruits, sprinkle on the surface.
Steam over high heat for 30 minutes, simmer for 5-10 minutes, cool slightly, and cut into pieces.
Enjoy the fragrant and chewy steamed cake slowly.
