Hi all, how are you guys? I've been missing from here since last year December, and I hope I'll get to blog more this coming days to share my recipes.
Here's a sweet dessert that I made last month, and it tastes really good. I'm not so sure what this sticky sweet kueh called in English, in mandarin we call it "nian gao" (年糕.) Which this kueh we only eat it during Chinese New Year.
I've fried it with a different way this time with mashed sweet potatoes and yam. Have a look at the bottom, it was very easy.
Very crispy outside and soft & sticky inside. Really yummy!!
Recipe:
100g plain flour
alittle salt to taste
1 egg
about 50-60g water
** mixed all the ingredients above with the water addedslowly until you get a sticky starchy flour paste. set aside.
"nian gao" 年糕 - cut into stripes
*60g yam, steamed and mashed
*60g sweet potatoes, steamed and mashed
**the amount of the yam and sweet potatoes depends to individual.
* wrap the 年糕 with the mashed yam and sweet potatoes like shown below.
* deep fried in some hot oil at medium heat.
I will definitely stick to this recipe next year when I get this kueh. I was really surprise it turned out so nice and it was well received by my family.
Have a look at the inside....you can never resist this.
Cheers!!
