The other day when i was flipping through 孟老师's cookbook and this chiffon was caught my attention as red yeast is used in the recipe. I got a bottle of this red yeast from Lena (Frozen Wings), so this recipe just perfect for me to try out red yeast which i have never cooking with it before..

I got a very sweet pinky marble but i don't really can taste the red yeast in the chiffon..It has the wine aroma and fermented beancurd taste before putting in baking. Anyway, in overall this chiffon is nice, soft and moist..

Red yeast, I have heard of it before. It is actually the leftover Chinese red rice fermented wine. Some even using it to marinade chicken for deep frying. Nice to see it in cakes too. The flavour must be very special. thanks for sharing it & have a great week ahead.
