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..
This is the bottle of Red Yeast 紅麴料里醬 , Thanks Lena!
Also Thanks to Lena for given me a cute small Japanese bowl (that one i use in these pictures)..
Also Thanks to Lena for given me a cute small Japanese bowl (that one i use in these pictures)..
Lena was worry whether i can use this red yeast paste in baking. But i am sure because the red yeast picture as shown in the cookbook is exactly same like that one she gave me..^_^
Fold meringue into the egg yolk batter and take a small portion to mix with red yeast paste..
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..

Your chiffon cake make me drool ALL THE TIME! You make it so easy too... :-)
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.
