Coconut Nian Gao ( CNY Bakes)

               I should say this is really easy to make, quite a "fusion" type of taste that you get here, we liked it though.  Coconut milk and dark brown sugar brings out such a beautiful fragrance.

               I made several batches, they are good to be Chinese New Year gifts.



           Recipe from: SiuKitchen
       Ingredients:
      Glutinous rice flour  300g
      Rice flour  50g
      Brown sugar /  Dark brown sugar  230g
      Water  280g
      Coconut milk  200g
      Oil  5g

     Method:

     1.   Mix both flours in a mixing bowl, set aside.

     2.   In a pot, mix sugar and water, cook until sugar is dissolved.  Gradually pour into the flour, using a hand whisk, stir and mix.  Next, add in coconut milk and last the oil.  Stir and make sure no lumps appears ( I fine sieved it).

     3.   Pour into your desired mould and steam on high heat for 1 hour ( I wrapped it with aluminium foil).

     4.  When it's done, insert skewer in and if it comes out clean, it is ready to be removed out from the steamer.

Good to keep for many months in the fridge.
