Yam Cake (Wu Tau Kou)

My family, especially my father has always love yam cake. And since Aunty Kuan (QiQi’s baby sitter) has good experience of making such kuih, I decided to get to be my teacher. After getting the ingredients, we start off this morning at 10am.

Ingredients 

1 yam, cubed

5 cloves garlics

(A) Mix Well 

1 packet blended rice flour

2 tbsp tapioca flour             

Water

Seasoning – salt, 5 spieces powder, sugar to taste

Garnishing – shallot crisp, dried prawns crips

Method

Heat oil and sauté shallots and dried prawns (separately) till crisp. Dish out and set aside.

Saute garlic with remaining oil, add in yam and stir-fry till fragrant. Mix in water and bring to boil.

Add in mixture (A), cook batter becomes thick. Pour out batter into a greased tray to steam (30minutes).

Once yam cake is cooled, add garnishing and serve with your favourite sauce (I use sweet black sauce from the market).

Guess what’s the taste like ? Haha….of course it is YUMMY!! (with full supervision from a teacher). Do look out for my next project, which will be LOH MAI KAI (Glutinous Chicken Rice).
