Kaya ~ Coconut Egg Jam ~ 焦糖加椰


This Kaya ~ Coconut Egg Jam is creamy, smooth and velvety, unlike the grainy Pandan Kaya version which I posted 'here'.   Most people would normally have their kaya with bread, either steamed or toasted but at times I like to snack on crackers with a spread of kaya.





Kaya ~ Coconut Egg Jam ~ 焦糖加椰
Ingredients
  • 4 large eggs (around 68 gm with shell)
  • 150 gm caster sugar
  • 200 ml coconut milk (I used 'Ayam' brand)
  • 5 pandan/screwpine leaves, knotted
  • 30 gm gula melaka/palm sugar, caramalised (optional)
Method
  1. Mix and stir the eggs with sugar, then add in the coconut milk, mix well.
  2. Strain the mixture into another big bowl.
  3. Heat up some water in a pot on slow fire and place the bowl of egg mixture on top.   Make sure that the bowl does not touch the simmering water.
  4. Add in the knotted pandan leaves and keep stirring the mixture with a whisk or spatula for about 30 mins.  The mixture will thicken a bit.  Let rest and stir every other 10 mins. till mixture is creamy and smooth.
  5. Meanwhile, melt 30 gm of gula melaka/palm sugar and pour it into the egg mixture and mix well.  Stir for a while, discard the pandan laves, and with a clean dry spoon transfer the kaya into a dry, sterilised bottle.
  6. Tighten the cap and let cool completely before refrigerating.

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.

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.
