QQ Steamed Pumpkin Kuih @ QQ金瓜糕

Oh my goodness! I have finally found the perfect recipe of my favourite kuih. (clap clap clap!) I've been searching high and low for the kuih recipe that I'm craving for, ever since I have my first bite on it. And finally decided to try Lena's Pumpkin Kuih recipe out, which she made quite some time ago. Thanks Lena for sharing it! But still I think the kuih is too soft to handle even after cooled. So then I tried to add a little of this and that....Errr.......probably Sir Einstein is laughing at me right at this moment (at the other side of the world)! haha.... Oh dear, Kristy Kristy, what are you doing?

And here's the result of my little this & that!!!!
Ingredients :
500gm sweet potato/pumpkin, mashed
200gm sugar
300gm tapioca flour/starch
50gm wheat starch/tung fun
300ml coconut milk
150ml water

Method :
(1) combine together tapioca flour, tung fun & sugar in a big mixing bowl.
(2) now stir in coconut milk & water,. mix to combine.
(3) next, slowly stir in mashed pumpkin till well mixed.
(4) pour batter to a preheated 9" tray with oil coating, then cover loosely with a piece of aluminium foil.
(5) finally, steam for 40mins over high heat.
(6) leave cool completely before slicing it by using a plastic cutter.

I'm using a 9" tray for this but the kuih will look taller if you are using an 8" tray. This recipe doesn't fit in a 7" tray pan. So forget about it! Always remember, only slicing the kuih after it is completely cooled. So that you can easily pull it out from the tray. The kuih should be very springy.

Oooo....don't you love the look of this chewy kuih!!!! I am totally in love with it. I've tried both pumpkin and sweet potato and they both taste just as good.

Homemade Fish Paste 自制纯鱼肉讓料

This is how I make my fish paste or fish cake whenever I wanted to make stuffed tofu. The stuffed tofu or "yong tofu" is a very famous Hakka dish, which I learnt from my father in law. I never is a good cook before I got married and I seldom cook as well cause need to work. But after married, I need to cook often whenever going to my parents in law place. So from there, I started my cooking journey. And thanks to my father in law for this, otherwise, hubby won't be able to taste his traditional dish anymore. Please read on for more.

Keropok Lekor Terengganu 登嘉楼特色炸鱼饼

I can't believe it myself that I'm actually making keropok lekor !!! Gosh, never in my life I would imagine myself making this, Terengganu fish cracker ! Its hubby favourite. I actually wanted to buy some of these during my last visit to Terengganu but hubby said NO ! However, I knew I'm going to give this a shot when I reached home and this is it. I have fulfilled it. Keropok lekor is the specialty of the east and it is normally made with small fishes or leftover fishes from the market place. Unlike the common fish cracker which is thin and crispy, keropok leko r is slightly thicker and fishy flavoured. And I have chosen to use ikan kembung (scomber or bloating fish ) for the test run, cause its cheap and meaty compare to other small fishes. Ingredients : 1 kg ikan kembung or bloating fish 1/2 cup water 1 tspn vegetable granules 2 tspn salt 1 tspn pepper 200-250gm tapioca starch Meth...
