Hong Kong Style of Savoury Steamed Yam Cake 港式腊肠芋头糕_2016 CNY dish_金猴报春

Whenever i have some good yam, sure use it to make a good steamed savoury yam cake. This time i made slight changes from the usual yam cake since CNY is approaching (  讨个好意头), added Chinese sausages or Lap Cheong and mushroom, similar like Hong Kong style of Lo Pa Gao aka radish cake.




The process of making is same like making Or Kueh a.k.a yam cake








see so many ingredients, because it is homemade ^_^

Pour in the watery batter and cook mixture for 1-2mins over low heat, stirring all the time, until the mixture turns to a thick paste.

5. Remove the cake and allow it to cool thoroughly before cutting into slices.

Hi Sonia,
I love this savoury and usually buy 2 pieces
for my breakfast at my morning market.
But as you say, I have noticed too that the toppings
have shrunk although price has gone up!
Thanks for sharing, lovely photos too

Hi what is tang mien flour?

Sonia ~ Nasi Lemak Lover said...

Syl, tang mein flour is all gluten has been removed , usually people use it to make Har Gao, anyway if you can find it , you can just omit it.
