    Prepare goji berries and raisins by washing them clean, and remove the water before using.

    Line the bottom and sides with parchment paper, pour in the batter and let it rest and rise a second time, then place goji berries and raisins for decoration. Let it rise until it is about 80% full (the mold is 8 inches).

    Bring the water in the pot to a boil, place the molds in the pot and steam for 20 minutes (open the lid 3 minutes after turning off the heat).

    I measured the steamed cake and it is 10 cm thick, it seems that using a slightly larger mold would be better.

    The cut steamed rice cake has evenly distributed honeycomb holes, is pure white, fluffy, soft yet elastic, and has a light and tender texture.
