Sweet Potato Egg Tart

-



When come to egg tart, everyone might mention about the flaky pastry, filled with a smooth, lightly sweetened egg custard.

What about giving it a twist for today? Instead of buttery flaky pastry, we switch to use sweet potatoes, raw oats and glutinous flour to make the tart base.

This sweet potato egg tarts are high in fiber and delicious. And it requires no cooking skills. After baking, the oatmeal sweet potato crust is soft with naturally sweet and chewy, paired with smooth egg tart fillings. Oh my god! It smells so good. Every time it’s fresh out of the air fryer, the entire family gathers around, eager to grab a slice.

The water content of the tart crust is very important. I am using orange sweet potatoes, which contain a lot of water after steaming. Perhaps yellow and purple sweet potatoes would be easier to shape. You can also use instant oats, which have good water absorption.

For this recipe, I use cup cake liner as mold. I baked it with an air fryer to cut down on time and effort, but if you prefer, you can bake it in the oven as well. The results are stunning either way.

The tart crust I pressed was slightly thicker and the finished product was a little shorter than baking in the oven to prevent the egg liquid from seeping out.

The tart is best served warm. That’s when the sweet potato crust is soft, tender, and full of its natural sweetness, and the filing is smooth and bursting with the rich flavors of eggs.

INGREDIENTS

400g orange mashed sweet potatoes

2 tbsp glutinous flour

60g raw oats

20ml milk


Filling

2 eggs

100ml milk

50g sugar

 


METHODS

1. Combine the mashed sweet potatoes, raw oats and glutinous flour, mix well until it forms a soft dough. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2. Divide the dough into 10 equal potions and roll into a ball shape.

3. Gently press the dough into small cupcake liner. Place them into an air flyer. Baked it at 160°Cfor 5 minutes to maintain the shape.

4. In a cup, combine egg, milk and sugar. Stir well and sift the mixture to ensure its smoothness.

5. Pour the egg  mixture into the prebaked tart shell to 90% full. And bake it 160°C for 15 minutes. Enjoy it while it's still hot.

Steamed Ma Lai Gou （马来糕）

  Today I will share with you how to make Malay kuih also known as “Ma Lai Gao”.   A steamed sponge cake from Malaysia, drew inspiration from British cakes. Later, Cantonese chefs modified it to become what we now know as dim sum. Traditionally, Ma Lai Gao's starter dough takes 24 hours to prepare. I'll show you how to make Ma Lai Gao quickly and easily today without losing out on texture or flavour. In fact, the appearance of “Ma Lai Kou” is very ordinary, not much different from ordinary cakes on the market, but its preparation method and texture are worth learning from. Because it is a fermented flour product, it has a soft and smooth texture. This recipe doesn't require baking, and the preparation of “Ma Lai Gao” is very simple, and the ingredients are divided into dry and wet. The wet ones are milk and eggs, while the dry ones are powdered ingredients. To put it simply, stir the wet ingredients evenly first, then slowly add the dry ingredients, ferment and then s...

Baked Cassava or Tapioca Cake （烤木薯糕）

Cassava or tapioca cake can be prepared in several methods, including baking, steaming and wrapping in banana leaves. It can be made with or without eggs and with or without butter. Today, I am going to share how to bake cassava or tapioca cake. Tapioca cake is very easy to make, whether to steam or to bake. The only tedious part is grating. I used to grate them into fine silk manually. But now I blend them with Thermomix to paste form. If you are using a regular blender, add a little water to the blender to blend it together. This cassava cake has a beautiful burnt skin on top and dense golden color inside. My daughter thought it was burnt cheesecake. The texture is soft but firm and not too sticky compared to the steam type. Every bite taste of cassava, coconut milk and the burnt aroma. Not overly sweet and greasy. If using a blender, cut the tapioca into smaller chunks, then carefully cut out the tough, fibrous core from the middle of each piece using a knife.   Once the t...

Dong Po Rou （东坡肉）

Dong Po Rou （东坡肉） – wine braised pork belly. It’s rich and savoury, tender that melts into your mouth. Traditionally, the pork belly is pan-fried before being braised or stewed for one to one and a half hours on low heat. Some of the recipes even call for steaming for an additional half an hour after stewing. It is very time-consuming. But as you are aware, I enjoy making recipes simpler without compromising the taste. You, too, I'm sure. Therefore, I skipped the pan-frying step and proceeded directly to braising the pork after blanching it, and then continued to cook with a pressure cooker. Don't worry; the dish's flavour remains unaffected. I'm hoping this simplified method may come in handy for your regular cooking. Trim off the edges of the pork and cut it into 3x3 cubes. Tie cooking twine around each cube. This will assist the cubes in keeping their form while cooking. If the pork that you bought is at the mid portion of the belly is ideal, there is a nice bala...
