Green tea Marble Yoghurt Cake




Following the goodness from consuming Green Tea, here's another
recipe that I churned out.

Recipe for Green tea Marble Yoghurt Cake

Ingredients :
  • 6 oz Plain Flour
  • 3/4  Teasp. Baking Powder
  • 3 eggs
  • 4.1/2 oz  Caster sugar
  • 1/2  Cup Cannola/Corn Oil
  • 1/2  Cup Yoghurt
  • 1  Teasp. Vanilla
  • 2  Tablespoons Greentea powder
  • 1  Teasp. lukewarm water
  • 1/2  Cup Adzuki Beans (Discard the syrup)
  • Pinch of salt
Method :
  1. Discard the syrup from the Adzuki beans and coat with some flour.  Set aside.
  2. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt and set aside.
  3. Cream the eggs with the sugar till creamy, add in the oil, then the yoghurt, followed by the vanilla.
  4. Gradually fold in the flour and blend thoroughly.
  5. Mix the greentea powder with the lukewarm water to a paste.
  6. Divide the batter into 2 portions.  Add the greentea paste into one portion and leave the other plain.  No need to swirl.
  7. Pour half the batter into a lightly greased and floured Bundt cake tin.  Toss in the flour coated Adzuki beans.
  8. Cover with the balance batter.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven @ 350deg.F/180deg.C for about 35 to 40 minutes.  Test with skewer till it comes out clean.
Note :
  1. Coat the Adzuki beans with about 2 Teasp of flour not from the above 6 oz. plain flour.  This is to absorb the moisture in the beans to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
  2. The marbling effect is not so distinct in this cake, perhaps need to add 1/2 Teasp more of Green Tea powder.

Herbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Gao

H erbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Ga o literally translated means 'Tortoise Jelly' is one of my family's favourite desserts.  It's much more economical to prepare this at home for you'll need to fork out between Rm 9 to Rm 11 for a bowl of this cooling dessert in any of those herbal tea outlets.  This soothing jelly, served chilled, is supposed to be able to help reduce our body heat, helps to get rid of toxins and is believed to be good for the skin thus culminating a healthier complexion.

Braised Pork Belly with Mui Choy ~ 梅菜焖五花肉

Mui Choy is preserved mustard greens and there are two types, one is salty while the other is sweet.  There are many ways of cooking mui choy with pork belly.  Instead of braising, you can steam it with minced pork but here I am using only the sweet mui choy and I braised the pork belly with it.  This is a flavourful dish and you can serve it with plain rice or plain porridge. Braised Pork Belly with Mui Choy   ~    梅菜焖五花肉 Ingredients  400 gm pork belly cut into bite size 100 gm  preserved sweet mui choy 3 cloves of garlic 2 slices ginger Seasoning for the pork belly 1 Tbsp dark soya sauce 1/4 Tbsp sugar 1/4 Tbsp sesame oil 1/4 Tbsp oyster sauce 1/2 tsp pepper 1/8 tsp light soya sauce Method Season the pork belly for about an hour or more.  Set aside.

Steamed minced Pork with Mui Choy ~ 梅菜蒸猪肉

This is a homey, comforting dish which you can never find on the menu of a Chinese restaurant.  Perhaps you may find it in an economy rice stall.  There are two types of Mui Choy (梅菜) or preserved mustard, one is salty while the other is sweet and in this recipe, I used the latter.  The Mui Choy lends flavour and aroma to the dish and most often is paired with pork, either minced or pork belly chunks.  In this recipe, the minced meat must be with a bit of fat, otherwise the dish will turn out dry and dense.  Give this a try and see whether you like it or not.
