Chinese New Year Cake 錦鯉年糕

I don't usually make a New Year Cake because my family prefers turnip pudding for Chinese Lunar New Year. But I couldn't help not to try out this cute fish mold that I bought while vacationing in Toronto last summer.

Fish is a common Chinese New Year food because it sounds similar to "surplus" in Chinese.

Ingredients:

220g glutinous flour/sweet rice flour

80g wheat starch

400ml unsweetened coconut milk

200g sugar

150g water

1 tbsp vegetable oil

1)  Bring water to a boil, then remove from heat and add sugar. Mix until the sugar melts.

2)  Add coconut milk and stir well.

3)  Mix glutinous flour with wheat starch in a large bowl. Add coconut milk from above and stir until you don't see any lumps. Add the oil. Mix until blended.

4)  Steam at high heat for about an hour.

Note:

Please adjust the steaming time according to the size of your container.

錦鯉年糕

農曆新年將至,我們雖然身處海外,節日氣氛不多,但過年食物是少不了的。在眾多應節糕點中,我家至愛是蘿蔔糕, 年糕比較少食。但自從上次在多倫多買了這個可愛的模具後,我便很想做這個錦鯉年糕了。
