Kaya ~ Coconut Egg Jam ~ 焦糖加椰


This Kaya ~ Coconut Egg Jam is creamy, smooth and velvety, unlike the grainy Pandan Kaya version which I posted 'here'.   Most people would normally have their kaya with bread, either steamed or toasted but at times I like to snack on crackers with a spread of kaya.





Kaya ~ Coconut Egg Jam ~ 焦糖加椰
Ingredients
  • 4 large eggs (around 68 gm with shell)
  • 150 gm caster sugar
  • 200 ml coconut milk (I used 'Ayam' brand)
  • 5 pandan/screwpine leaves, knotted
  • 30 gm gula melaka/palm sugar, caramalised (optional)
Method
  1. Mix and stir the eggs with sugar, then add in the coconut milk, mix well.
  2. Strain the mixture into another big bowl.
  3. Heat up some water in a pot on slow fire and place the bowl of egg mixture on top.   Make sure that the bowl does not touch the simmering water.
  4. Add in the knotted pandan leaves and keep stirring the mixture with a whisk or spatula for about 30 mins.  The mixture will thicken a bit.  Let rest and stir every other 10 mins. till mixture is creamy and smooth.
  5. Meanwhile, melt 30 gm of gula melaka/palm sugar and pour it into the egg mixture and mix well.  Stir for a while, discard the pandan laves, and with a clean dry spoon transfer the kaya into a dry, sterilised bottle.
  6. Tighten the cap and let cool completely before refrigerating.

Char Siew Pau ~ 蒸叉烧包

I have been itching to try out a Pau recipe and vaguely remember that I did make it once, long, long ago.  So I  got hold of my old file of recipes and finally managed to retrieve it.  I did it recently and must say that I'm satisfied with the result.  The texture of the Pau was soft and a bit chewy, wholesome and filling too.  Naturally, they didn't look so nice and round like the ones sold in the dim sum restaurants, but nonetheless I think homemade ones can be just as delectable as well.

Kuih Bangkit ~ CNY 2010

I recently made this Chinese New Year cookie, 'Kuih Bangkit' for my daughter to  bring back to Melbourne. As Chinese New Year is barely a month away, thought it best to post it now, perhaps you may like to try it out.  These cookies are not too sweet,  with a tinge of pandan fragrance coupled with a sweet taste of coconut ...... yummy.  They do keep well if they're thoroughly baked and they melt in the mouth!

Pineapple Tarts ~ CNY 2013

Chinese New Year is not too far away and a quick look at the supermarkets and bakeries revealed that the prices of the festive goodies have gone up again.  Prices of  food stuff have gone up drastically and look like they are here to stay.  It's much more economical  to DIY when you know how to do so.......
