芋頭糕 (Steamed Yam Cake)

这次做的芋头糕的味道与口感调配得刚刚好,虽然自己说好吃好像有点“老王卖瓜”,但我还是忍不住要说声“赞” ^o^

Ingredients:

Yam – 500g (peeled and cut into small cube)

Rice flour – 250g

Water – 900ml

Dried shrimps – 100g (soaked and roughly chopped / pound)

Minced meat – 120g (can be replaced by dried shrimps)

Dried mushroom – 3 to 4 pcs (soaked and dice finely)

Shallot – as much as you like (diced)

Spring onion – as much as you like (finely diced)

Five spice powder – teaspoon

Salt – to taste

Pepper – to taste

Marinade for minced meat:

Light soy source – 1 tablespoon

Sesame oil – ½ tablespoon

Corn flour – ½ tablespoon

Method:

1) Mix the rice flour with 900ml water, stir until smooth and set aside.

2) Heat some oil, sauté the shallot until golden and fragrant. Set aside.

3) With the same oil, saute the dried shrimps until golden brown. Then add in the dried mushroom and continue to stir fry for a while. Remove and set aside.

4) Add the marinated minced meat and stir fry until the meat just done.

5) Add the yam cubes, stir fry with salt and five spice powder. Then add in a little water to simmer until the water evaporated and the yam cubes start to turn soft.

6) Pour in the rice flour and water mixture, stir and mix well with the ingredients in the wok. After stir fry for a while, add in the fried shrimps, dried mushrooms and some fried shallot. Add a dash of salt and pepper, stir continuously until the mixture thickens.

7) Transfer the entire mixture into a pan/tin, steam over the high heat for about 45 to 60 mins (depend on the thickness)

8) Garnish with fried shallot and spring onion.

9) Important notes: the yam cake must be allowed to cool completely before cutting.
