Basic Swiss Roll with Kaya ~ 加椰蛋糕卷


After my first attempt at making a Hurricane Swiss Roll, I have a bit more confidence to venture into other 'forms' of Swiss Roll.  Today I'm sharing with you a very basic Swiss Roll with homemade kaya filling.  Soft and light ...... a perfect partner with a  pot of  our piping hot, good old fashioned 'kopi O'!




Basic Swiss Roll with Kaya ~ 加椰蛋糕卷 
Ingredients (A)
  • 4 egg yolks (about 67 gm with shell)
  • 40 gm caster sugar
  • 40 ml milk
  • 40 ml canola oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 80 gm plain flour, sifted
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • Homemade Kaya/coconut egg jam filling  
(B)
  • 4 egg whites
  • 40 gm caster sugar
  • 1 tsp white vinegar or lemon juice
Method
  1. Line a 10" x 10" square pan with parchment paper.
  2. Mix egg yolks, sugar, milk, oil, vanilla and salt with a ball whisk till well incorporated.  Sift in plain flour and mix well.  Set aside.
  3. In a clean bowl, whisk egg whites with vinegar till foamy, add in sugar in batches and beat till stiff peaks but not dry.
  4. Fold in 1/2 meringue into the egg yolk mixture, mix well.  Gently pour this into the balance meringue and mix well but not to overmix as the egg whites may deflate.
  5. Slowly pour the mixture into the centre of the prepared pan and using a spatula spread the mixture evenly onto the sides of the pan.
  6. Shake and tap the pan to remove any air bubbles.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven @ 170 deg.C for about 25 mins.  till golden brown.  Touch the centre of the cake and if it's firm and springs back, then it's done.
  8. Remove the cake and give it a few taps on the worktop.
  9. Place the cake on a wire rack.   Place a fresh sheet of parchment paper over the cake and backed with a hard surface, invert it.  Remove the parchment paper from the base of the cake.  Let the cake cool.
  10. Spread kaya filling on the cake, leaving 1 inch from the top and 1/2 inch from the sides.  
  11. Gently roll up the cake guided by the parchment paper, place the cake in a plastic bag and keep refrigerated for a few hours or overnight.
  12. Slice with a serrated knife, serve.

Braised Pork Belly with Mui Choy ~ 梅菜焖五花肉

Mui Choy is preserved mustard greens and there are two types, one is salty while the other is sweet.  There are many ways of cooking mui choy with pork belly.  Instead of braising, you can steam it with minced pork but here I am using only the sweet mui choy and I braised the pork belly with it.  This is a flavourful dish and you can serve it with plain rice or plain porridge.

Snow Swallow Dessert ~ 天然野生雪燕

  Natural Wild Tragacanth Gum 'Snow Swallow' or Xue Yan is a gum derived from different varieties of sterculia trees.  It's actually a sap drained from the root of the plant and  the gum dries as it exudes and is then collected.  Once rehydrated will increase to about ten times in size and their white stringy, jelly like strands texture resembles that of the much prized and highly valued bird's nest.  One thing to take note when cooking this dessert is that the gum is highly soluble in water and cannot be boiled too long. Since it is 'cooling' for our internal organs, the elderlies should take this in moderation and not recommended for nursing mums for the breast milk may cause the baby to purge. Snow Swallow Dessert  ~   天然野生雪燕 Ingredients 8 gm Snow Swallow gums 10 gm red dates 10 gm goji berries 20 gm dried longan Rock or piece sugar to taste 1 litre water Pandan leaves (optional) Method Soak the Snow Swallow gums in plenty of water for at least...

Herbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Gao

H erbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Ga o literally translated means 'Tortoise Jelly' is one of my family's favourite desserts.  It's much more economical to prepare this at home for you'll need to fork out between Rm 9 to Rm 11 for a bowl of this cooling dessert in any of those herbal tea outlets.  This soothing jelly, served chilled, is supposed to be able to help reduce our body heat, helps to get rid of toxins and is believed to be good for the skin thus culminating a healthier complexion.
