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.

Braised pork belly with radish

My daughter once enquired about the fastest, easiest, and tastiest way to prepare braised pork. The fewer dishes that need to be washed, the better. She needed a recipe with braised pork that could be made by simply combining all the ingredients in a pot and letting them simmer. When I give it some thought, I realize that she would enjoy this braised port belly with radish. Because of the ginger, garlic, dried chilli, and star anise, this meal has a lot of flavours. I like to use a lot of ginger to flavour the pork. Due to the lengthy cooking process, the ginger that has been simmered is excellent. As the meat cooked slowly over low heat. The smell of meat permeated the kitchen and was very alluring. When the meat is done being braised! Goodness!! It has me completely drooling. Pick up a piece of meat with a pair of chopsticks and take a bite. Fat but not greasy. It melts in your mouth and leaves a lingering flavour. After being cooked, the radish in particular tastes amazing....

Eggless Pumpkin kaya spread (金瓜加椰 )

Kaya jam or coconut jam is a household name in Malaysia. It is the most common and favorite kind of jam used to spread on bread. It is perfect on toast with coffee or tea. Kaya has a creamy texture which is prepared with eggs, coconut milk, pandan leaf flavor and sugar. The color of the jam varies depending on the amount of pandan, the color of the egg yolks, and the extent of the sugar caramelization. I thought about when I was a student. Almost every morning, my mother only let me bring one breakfast back to school, which was kaya spread on white bread. This breakfast accompanied me throughout my primary school years.
