Method

Preparation

In a mixing bowl, whisk glutinous rice flour, sugar, and salt until light and free of lumps.
Slowly stir in coconut milk over low heat until smooth, lump-free, and pourable.
Pour the batter into a lightly greased, heatproof pan and steam over simmering water for 20-25 minutes, until set.
In a bowl, mash ripe bananas with vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until mostly smooth.
Gently spread the banana mash over the hot rice cake base and press lightly to seal.
Allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes, then slice into squares or wedges.

Optional Topping

Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and shredded coconut for extra crunch.
