I made it today and wish the recipe was in ounces and not grams. I used whole wheat pastry flour in place of whole wheat flour. It tasted good but had to make another cake because the 5 inch round was too small.

@siska：
2 hours of steaming? Normally, it should be cooked through. I'm also confused by what you said here.

I've made this today, but after 2hours of steaming, I still can taste raw flour and the inside of the cake is still more pale than the outer side. My cake is only 1 inch thick.. I'm confused, is it cooked enough?

be happy and love. kiss

You made a wonderfully good CNY cake with a nice texture, still soft but easy to slice.

The less water contained in the cake, the harder it becomes after chilled in fridge.

Yet, if your cake was chilled for a longer time, it would become hard too. :)

Made some yesterday, and it's delicious! ^^ I have a question though: when cooled down and refridgerated a few hours, is it supposed to be still soft (although less sticky and easier to slice) The sticky rice cakes others bring me are usually hard, mine was not. Just wondering =).

Thx for this recipe! It was so easy to make, this one's a keeper!

Did your cake surface look smooth before putting in the wok to steam?
It could be the water condensed on the surface.

Brush a bit of oil at the back of a teaspoon, the use it the smooth the surface of your cake before steaming next time. To prevent water condensed on the surface, place a wax paper on top.
Hope the tips help.

Hello Christine,

I tried your recipe yesterday! I used regular wheat flour (other than the traditional chinese one ), it tastes really good! But the surface of the cake looks horrible. it is not as smooth as yours. It is because of the steaming water dripping to the cake? or I really have to use the real chinese wheat flour?

You can skip the wheat flour if you can't any. The texture would be a bit different. It's fine for the taste though.

Almost CNY ^^ I'd love to try this recipe, but I can't find any wheat flour in my area. Any suggestion for a substitute? Or is glutinous rice flour enough? Thanks!

Yum! I haven't had chinese new year cake for since...last chinese new year! I've never had them fried with egg- my mum usually just fried them for us. But it tastes great anyway! Next time, I'll definitely try the egg- it looks so good!

Looks really good! I have gotta try too but I will have to skip the coconut milk and I prefer it plain. I suppose i can substitute with water?

2010-02-11T04:29:08.797+10:00

Thanks for sharing this fabulous recipe! I've always wondered how they were made... Can you use regular rice flour for this recipe? Also is that coconut milk or cream?

Thanks so much!
Happy new year!!!

I think we used to call this tikoy in the Philippines - it was delicious - we usually sprinkle as well with sugar... is that the same one? Yum!
