yeap i used a mold :P a plastic one that costs $2 or something like that

i know a recipe for an uber coconut milk sauce!
120ml-160ml of coconut milk
1 to 1.5 table spoons of normal rice flour
4 tea spoons of sugar
1-2 table spoons of oil (cold press coconut oil is best, but peanut is ok)
some pandan leaves.
tiny dab of salt
mix everything in and stir on low heat till it thickens

pandan steamed rice cakes, i would assume to be glutinous rice cakes? like the thai style? along the same thought flow i would think complementary flavours are
1) corn
2) yam (taro)
3) egg
4) custard
5) a creamy milk fragrance taiwanese tea
6) high floral taiwanese green oolong
7) jasmine tea or some rose fragrance! it gives balance to the rich coconut flavour (rose scented coconut is... amazing!)

Puk -- this weekend, I made some tea eggs using your recipe. They smelled absolutely wonderful in preparation.... and they turned out really well. The flavor is light, and I mostly taste the star anise, so I'll probably double the tea next time (I used a plain black tea, not a lapsang).

Thanks for sharing, I've always wanted to make them!
