  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

Let’s make traditional steamed rice cake “Pak Tong Gou 白糖糕 ”. That we always eat since young. It is thick and smooth, with a hint of sweetness and sourness and a fragrant hint of pandan. The main ingredients used are rice flour fermented with yeast and white sugar. Adding yeast to ferment the batter will produce many small bubbles, which makes the steamed white sugar cake taste softer and more delicious. The traditional method is complicated to make, but now experienced foodies have simplified the steps. Like steamed Malay Cake （马来糕） , needs to be fermented with yeast. The difference is that the fermented pores of this cakes are elastic and non-sticky when eaten and are tough and not easy to break when folded. The taste has the sweet aroma of rice, and it will not become sour if it is fermented for the right time. On the other hand, if you like a sour taste, you can extend the fermentation time. To prevent the batter from layering or precipitating during steaming, the hot boil pand

  This refreshing treat is as delicious as it is beautiful; not to mention easy. It's also a great party dessert as it's vegan and gluten-free. If you want something more exciting than ice cream, this is the perfect warm weather dessert that won't melt! For the mango base for this dessert, I am using Mango Susu, you can use whatever mango you have, even frozen mango is work. The only condition is the mango is ripe and sweet. And make sure that you peel the mango skin far enough because if you peel the skin too thin, you will taste a bit of bitterness. And I am going to blend it with orange juice, the acidity and citrusy quality will accent and brighten up the sweetness of the mango. For the setting, I am using agar-agar for making this dessert. It is kind of like gelatin; it is set in liquid. However, unlike gelatin, this is plant base, if you have got vegetarian friends coming over, you could treat them with this dessert. The most important thing about using this agar-

Today made a popular dessert in Malaysia, “Ondeh Ondeh”, a type of Nyonya recipe. It is also called “Buah Melaka” because it looks like the fruit of the Malacca tree. The procedure of making is easy. The flavoured glutinous rice balls have grated fresh coconut on the outside and melting Gula Melaka, or palm sugar, inside. The white, milky coconut shreds and little balls of various colours appear fresh and natural. and has a charming appearance. The glutinous rice balls, soft glutinous and chewy are determined by the amount of water and cooking time. The softer the rice balls, the more water and more time it boiled. We like our coconut shreds to be moist and crisp, the melted Gula Melaka to be rich and flavorful, and the texture to be somewhat mushy and sticky. It seems like the nostalgic flavour of my childhood is returning. In addition to the traditional pandan flavour, I have included instructions for making it with sweet potatoes and pumpkin. Of all the flavours of "ondeh

Welcome to this delectable vegan treat: incredibly crispy deep-fried mushrooms with soybean paste! These mushrooms are an absolute joy for all palates, with a crispy outside that gives way to delicate, somewhat chewy sweetness inside. I am going to share with you some tips to help you create an incredibly crispy, vegan- friendly outer layer that takes the mushrooms to a whole new level. Tips of making fried mushrooms 1.Avoid soaking or washing mushrooms I try to choose clean, fresh mushrooms so that cooking doesn't require soaking the mushroom or to avoid them absorbing water and becoming super moist. If you need to wash the mushroom, wash quickly under running water, and gently squeeze the water content out. 2.Double frying technique The outsides of the mushrooms are crispier when they are fried twice. The first fry cooks the mushrooms through, while the second fry crisps up the outside and drains any leftover oil that may have been absorbed during the first fry, giv

Chinese pumpkin pie has a delicious red bean paste filling with a gorgeous golden crispy crust that is oozy and sticky inside, like mochi. The pumpkin puree gives the skin a gorgeous orange hue. A sweet filling such as red bean paste is placed within. This pumpkin pie might be a popular or easily to approach in West Malaysia. I am living in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. I barely found this snack from dim sum restaurant or any hawker stall. I experimented with it quite a few times and failed quite a few times.   Then I got this recipe that I thought was pretty good which I am going to share with you today. Everyone usually has a pumpkin in their home. When in urgent need, you can use it to cook or make breakfast at any time. Usually, I divide it in half and keep half for cooking, while the other half is steamed and mashed and kept in the refrigerator. When needed, I can use it to make breakfast such as steamed buns, bread, ondeh-ondeh, ang ku kueh, etc. This Chinese pumpkin pie can be coo

Do you miss this delicacy of Ginkgo Bean Curd and Barley Sugar dessert? When did you most recently enjoy or make it? Ginkgo, commonly known as ginkgo. It is very popular when used to cook bean curd sheets. I went to a dessert house two days ago. The waitress was serving this dessert to a young lady who was sitting next to me. I overheard that lady comment about that dessert is different from other dessert houses. So, I give it a go. I am not sure how it was different from other dessert houses. But it is different from what I had before. It is creamy, smooth, and rich in flavour. So, I am going to copycat this, and my family loves it so much. Especially youngsters who do not like any small chunks to chew on with liquid dessert. This dessert can be cooked on the stove or pressure cooker. There's a catch, though: Yuba sheets or bean curd sheet, also known as Fu Chuk, come in a variety of forms.   If you opt for making this dessert over a stove, need to choose the kind that disso
