Ever since our Taiwan trip last November, I've been thinking about those tasty yam and taro balls from Jiufen. Now that we are home all the time, we looked up different recipes to make these taro and yam balls. After a couple of tests and some adjustments, we finally came up with a recipe that worked to our liking. Here is the recipe to make three flavours of these chewy balls, using purple yam, yam and taro.
I can't believe it took a pandemic for me to discover the home-made version of jammy ramen eggs. And it's sooo easy to make, too. Most recipes online call for Japanese sake but we made it with Chinese cooking wine and I thought it worked very well.
As we spend more time at home, Mama Lam is trying different recipes to keep ourselves entertained. We found this Korean style baked mochi ball recipe online and tested it out. The recipe is very easy to make and suitable to involve kids.
Last month, Mama Lam made some nougats. It's good but it's a bit boring, so she found a recipe to take it up a notch. It's called Nougat Puff. It's essentially nougat with the addition of crunchy crackers. We've made a few batches now and each time it has turned out well.
