Before I used 福 "Fu" stamp to stamping on the smiling old fashioned steamed sponge cake, actually I used Xi 喜 to stamping on this pink steamed glutinous rice buns. This is not my first time made this pink KiKaKu (this is how Hokkien called this kueh) but this version is with additional of soda drink. 
I feel the additional of soda drink made this kueh tasted soft and slight chewy..
I feel so blessing and happy when see this lovely 喜 stamp on this kueh..

ReplyDelete如果没有 ice-cream soda, 可以用 Perrier吗？？
ReplyDeleteWell, this looks good and interesting. I have almost all ingredients now in my kitchen, I must try this recipe one of these days. Thanks for sharing Sonia. Congrats to the winners.
ReplyDeleteHi! Just tried your recipe this morning. Disaster! Not only that the buns did not raise it did not turn out like any bread or bun. :( I suspect is the yeast and may be the mixing part. Do you have to knead the dough until slightly elastic or just mixed?
ReplyDeleteWill attempt to make it again but not using soda drink.
Hi Sonia, wondering how to make the red coloring for the stamp? Should I stamp first before steam or after steam?
ReplyDeleteAppreciate your reply and thanks!
From : Vivien
Shanny, sorry to hear that, if yeast is active, you shouldn't have problem to get rise and nice buns. Just lightly give a few good knead will do.
ReplyDeleteVivien, make the stamp after steamed. Add tiny water into the food colouring, stamp on a paper first then only stamp on the buns, as to get nice even colour.
Sonia, may I know where to get this stamp? Thanks
ReplyDeleteCeline, I got these stamp at Ho Chi Minh otherwise you can try to find it at those bakery ingredients supply shop.
ReplyDeleteHi, the bun you do will it become hard when you put it for the next day?
