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

2 eggs

100ml milk

Pumpkin Sago Dessert(南瓜西米露)

Pumpkin is a very good food material, suitable for men, women and children. Although it tastes very sweet, it does not contain high sugar content. It can even be eaten by diabetics. Pumpkin sago is a dessert that many people like because it does not harm the body. So, how to make pumpkin sago? This creamy, smooth pumpkin sweet soup is one of my favorites.   So aromatic with coconut milk.   Since the soup tends to thicken, I prefer it to serve hot rather than cold. I prefer to cook coconut milk in the soup with a little salt. Coconut milk is naturally sweet and rich. Salt helps to balance these flavors, making the soup more palatable and enjoyable. Others may prefer to drizzle some coconut milk on top before serving. The main ingredients of pumpkin and sago are pumpkin and sago. The general method of cooking sago is to boil water in a pot, pour in sago and cook on low heat for about 10-15 minutes. Turn off the heat when only a little white spot is left in the middle of the ...

Hakka Braised Pork Belly with Black Fungus

There was once I went to a bookstore and found this "The Hakka Cookbook" by accident. This book's subtitle is "Chinese Soul Food Around the World". According to the text, Hakka food exhibits the Hakka people's economical, not luxurious, and generous hospitality. Hakka cuisine has many health benefits because the Hakka people are dedicated to their pursuit of methods of preserving health and are skilled in utilizing the scientific principles concealed in nature. Hakka food has currently established itself as a representation of Cantonese cuisine. The two primary specialties are Hakka-stuffed tofu and salt-baked chicken. This meal is available at restaurants and is highly well-liked. Braised Pork Belly with Black Fungus is one of the dishes from this book that I have come across. Although the black fungus does not have a pleasing appearance, it is incredibly nutrient-rich. A daily intake of 5 to 10 grams of black fungus can support cardiovascular heal...

Ants Climbing A Tree (蚂蚁上树)

This dish is really interesting– Ants Climbing Trees! The name sounds like a small animal, but it is actually made with vermicelli or glass noodles and minces meat. This dish may seem simple, but it is actually rich in content. It is mainly made of glass noodles paired with fresh minced meat, and carefully seasoned with ginger, garlic, shallots, spicy bean paste, soy sauce, sugar and other condiments. Sometimes I cook it and serve it alone as breakfast, lunch, and even dinner. Sometimes I serve it with white rice. Either way, it is a very satisfying dish on my dinner table. The glass noodles were smooth, the minced meat was fragrant, and it tasted a little spicy due to the spicy bean paste.   It was delicious. The reason why this dish name as “ants climbing trees” is because the fried minced meat looks like little ants climbing on the “branch” of glass noodles. When preparing Ants Climbing a Tree, keep in mind that the glass noodles will absorb the sauce quickly.   Incre...
