This is nothing new. I just mingled some recipes and created another one. This is a mango mousse cake with a marie biscuit base. I added diced mango inside for more mango madness. Everything is easy peasy as there is no baking involved. It is particularly convenient for those who don't own an oven or … Continue reading Mango Mousse Cake with Biscuit Crust (Eggless and No-bake) 芒果慕絲凍餅(無蛋，免焗)
Whenever I post my mochi pictures on social media, I got questions like “will your mochi become hard after being refrigerated overnight?” or “how do you keep mochi from hardening?” Well, my mochi could stay soft for three days at room temperature (of course I won’t recommend placing mochi at room temperature for that long) … Continue reading Pandan Mochi With Purple Sweet Potato 班蘭紫薯糯米糍

The Tang Mian method helps to coat the flour … Continue reading Chocolate Sponge Cake (Tang Mian Method) 燙麵法朱古力海綿蛋糕
This is the sugar-free version of my Purple Sweet Potato Mochi. I used Swerve, which is a blend of erythritol and oligosaccharide, as the sweetener. Swerve is a like-for-like sugar replacement so the conversion is straight forward. Both mochi dough and filling were sweetened with Swerve. Inside the mochi was purple sweet potato filling and … Continue reading Sugar Free Coconut Purple Sweet Potato Mochi 椰香紫薯糯米糍(無糖)
My friend introduced me to sous vide corn on the cob in April. My first reaction was like, “why spend time cooking corn sous vide while it can be done in the microwave in two to three minutes?”. I finally gave it a try and my mind was blown! The corn was so tender, juicy … Continue reading Sous Vide Buttered Corn on the Cob 慢煮牛油粟米
