CNY preparation 2018

Had been a long while that i did not pose any recipes here. Sometimes just being kind of lazy, but i am still exploring and experimenting new recipes. Chinese New Year just passed like a few days ago. Before the CNY everyone was busy preparing so was i. Sharing what i made for receving the year of Dog. 

Huat Kueh 發糕 or prosperity kueh, symbolic cake. 
Ingredients : 
200 g Plain flour
120 g Rice Flour 
100 g Sugar
20 g Baking soda
235 g Water 

Method 
Mix all the ingredients together and set to rest for 10 minutes before pouring over to a mould lined with parchement paper. Bring a steamer to boil and transfer the kueh and steam for 20 minutes over high heat. And this is the result you will get (the kueh open up nicely).

Vegetarian Ngoh Hiang 

Ingredients : 

Beancurd skin - open up and wipe with a moist cloth to remove any salt, cut into your preferred wrap size. 

For the fillings i have : 

potatoes - steam and mashed

carrots cut into cubes

some mock gluten

some topinambour (jerusalem artichoke) - into cubes 

5 spices powder

salt, pepper, light soya sauce 

Method:

Mix all the fillings together and seasoned to your taste. Take a beancurd skin and place some fillings and wrap it up. (making sure nothing drop out).

Next, put to steam like 20 minutes. If it is not ready to eat on the very day, after completely cool off, individually wrapped with plastic film and store in the freezer. 

Alternatively deep-fried the ngoh hiang which i don't prefer. 

For the dipping sauce - can simply dip with mushroom sauce.
