I made some Purple Sweet Potato Mochi with my leftover sweet rice flour last week and yesterday I used it for some sticky rice roll. From previous experience I notice that treats made with Thai glutinous rice flour are more likely to become hard the next day and have to be softened in the microwave…… Continue reading Red Bean Sticky Rice Roll 豆沙糯米卷
Mid autumn festival is already over but I still have several purple sweet potatoes and half a carton of coconut cream lett in my fridge after making my mooncakes (read about my blog posts, Coconut Purple Sweet Potato Snow Skin Mooncakes and Crispy Coconut Sweet Potato Mooncakes). I turned the leftover ingredients into mochi in…… Continue reading Purple Sweet Potato Mochi 紫薯糯米糍

In order to compensate for the moisture loss due to…… Continue reading Chocolate Sour Cream Bundt Cake 朱古力酸忌廉蛋糕
