I found this recipe in my big book of recipes – probably the easiest one I could find anywhere. It’s probably the least authentic one too, judging by the unbelievably few steps involved, but an adaptation of it nevertheless turned out a snack that’s amazingly delectable – just like the real stuff that I used to buy from Sainsbury back in Durham. 🙂
It’s been my favourite dish at wedding dinners. I always save my stomach for this last dish whenever I see its name pop out on wedding menus. Yummy yum yum… the savoury taste of (dialectal) roots – literally!
A colleague was telling me about how her mum makes yam cake for her whole family. It’s a massive effort, involving not just a lot of chopping but also a lot of arm strength to stir the yam paste. I personally love munching on yam cakes a lot, so I thought I might as well give it a try, especially since I’ll have to cook something for my dinners(ssss) next week anyway.
Haven’t done this in a while, say… about 2 years or so? I started baking this bread about 5 years ago, when I saw the recipe on the cardboard box of the Post banana nut crunch cereals. Thought I’ll give it a try. It was a simple, fuss-free and dummy-proof recipe and worked amazingly.
I took this recipe off a random website and adapted it to my own taste. However, to my disappointment, even though they are recognizable as Guo Ties and remotely taste like them, I do believe the recipe can be further improved upon: the filling could be much juicier and the skin a lot tastier. I’m definitely going to try this again with other ingredients for the filling and the skin. I’m gonna have to revisit my Shui Jian Bao webpage.
