Kuih Dangai

Update 11 Oct 2017

What to do with leftover fresh grated coconut? Quite a lot of it ...

Kuih dangai works .. nicely salty sweet .. texture is surprisingly springy, chewy, on top of the grated coconut taste. Due to the glutinous rice flour.


Kuih dangai

Translated from Malay recipe below:
Kuih Dangai
Ingredients:
3 bowls of freshly grated coconut (white one for kuih)
1 bowl of glutinous rice flour
1/3 bowl of sugar (sweetness according to taste)
1/2 tsp salt


Method:
1. Place grated coconut in a mixing bowl.
2. Add
glutinous rice flour, mix the flour and coconut evenly. Add salt and mix thoroughly. Make sure the grated coconut mixture has no lumps.
3. Heat up (short while) the container to be used for baking. (Note: I used a muffin tray.) 

4. Place a thin layer of the mixture into the container. This first layer is not mixed with sugar in order to make it easier to remove the kuih later.
5. Mix in the sugar to the remainder of the coconut-flour-salt mixture.
6. Add the remainder of the mixture into the baking container. Make sure it is full and even, but no need to press the mixture.
7. Bake in the oven under medium heat until you see a yellow tinge.

Spicy Sour Mustard Green Stew (Tua Chai / Choy Keok / Chai Boey)

The elusive vegetable - Mustard Green - only found in the fresh markets (in Singapore), rarely in the supermarkets. There are quite a few write-ups about this post-Chinese-New-Year brilliant recipe to use up leftover meats. Leftover as in roast meats and pig trotter stewed meats that no one wants to eat anymore after over-indulging on rich dishes for several days. So, a genius person of olden days made a stew of these meats with assam (tamarind), dried chillies and mustard green vegetable to absord all the flavour. https://www.malaysianchinesekitchen.com/chai-boey-mustard-greens-stew/ https://www.rotinrice.com/chop-suey-soup-chai-boey/ https://beyondnorm.com/2017/03/19/choy-keok-recipe/ http://www.msyummylicious.asia/2016/02/hot-and-sour-chinese-mustard-vegetable.html I wanted to make this dish but had no 'leftover meats'. So, I started to collect my meats from the supermarket best buys' section for roast spring chicken and pork. I ate a little of the fresh roa

Homemade Vinegar Chilli Sauce (cili cuka)

Homemade chilli sauce. Simple homemade chilli sauce, similar to the chilli sauce served with chicken rice. For blending: Red chillies - 10-15 Garlic - 5-7 cloves Ginger - 2inch For mixing: Vinegar - 50ml to start with, the chilli sauce should not be too watery, the sour, tangy taste should be there Sugar - 1.5-2 tbsp Salt - 1 tsp Unfortunately, in true homemade style, I learnt to make this from my mum without measurements. Just a sense of proportion that there should be more chilli than garlic and less of ginger. Of course, the vinegar, sugar and salt are similarly adjusted to taste. Too spicy - add salt, sugar. Too bland - add salt, vinegar. Just mixing all these ingredients together is sufficient, no cooking is required. The vinegar, sugar and salt are preservatives. But I always make sure the chillies, garlic and ginger are washed and dried before I blend them. Also, discard some chilli seeds, otherwise, it will be very spicy. For slow consumption, I keep the bott
