Chinese Sticky Rice Cake
This rice cake is a sweet dessert made with glutinous rice flour (also called sweet rice flour) and red bean paste. The recipe was given to me by my Chinese sister-in-law. It has a firm custard-like texture, which is different for many Western palates and is a favorite of my family.
Bánh Tét
Bánh tét and bánh chung (the square cake version) are available year-round and are traditional for the Lunar New Year in Vietnam. It's a sticky rice cake with various fillings, some are sweet and some are savory. Mung beans, pork, and sticky rice are the core ingredients in this recipe. Raffia string is usually used to tie the cakes but I've used kitchen twine. Also, traditionally these are more elaborately trussed than tied as I did here to simplify. I wrapped the cakes in foil, that's Andrea Nguyen's move. Once the cakes are cooked you can wrap them in gold or red plastic ribbon for luck in the new year.
Adzuki Mooncake
This traditional Chinese cake is so moist and indulgent. You can substitute adzuki beans with mung beans, lotus seeds, chestnuts, mixed nuts, dried fruits, etc. Once cool, these are ready to be served or wrapped as gift. They will be even more moist if you leave them at room temperature for 2 days. For a more authentic shape, press the cakes into a mooncake mold, small cake tins, cookie cutters, even muffins tins after they have been rolled in flour.
Chinese-Style Peanut Cookie
These plump little almond cookies are easy to make and call for ground peanuts, corn flour, and vegetable oil.
Easy Mochi
Mochi are small, sweet Japanese cakes made with glutinous rice flour (mochiko). They have a soft, chewy outer layer and a deliciously sticky filling made of sweetened red bean paste. Freezing the red bean paste before you use it is optional but it does make the process easier.
Fried Sweet Potatoes
These fried sweet potatoes are simple to make and will always disappear. Blanched sweet potatoes are sliced and fried in melted butter and brown sugar.
Basque Cake
A Basque specialty that has pastry cream encased in a light shortdough pastry.
Old-Fashioned Hard Candy
Homemade hard candy is a great gift idea that you can make with any extracts, flavorings, and colorings you like to match the occasion.
Vanilla Frozen Yogurt
This frozen yogurt recipe is so much easier than homemade ice cream. Just so you know, this freezes a lot quicker than ice cream. Also, if you want tart frozen yogurt, feel free to decrease the sugar.
Blackberry Compote
Make this simple blackberry compote with fresh blackberries! It has a chunky consistency, but you can mash the berries with a fork or potato masher if you like it smoother. The longer you simmer the compote, the more concentrated the flavors become. Serve it over ice cream, crêpes, yogurt, oatmeal, or ricotta toast.
Crystallized or Candied Ginger
Crystallized ginger can be served with espresso and cake or champagne and fruit, coated in bittersweet chocolate and rolled in hazelnuts or macadamia nuts. It can be chopped or julienned to use in or as a garnish for pastries, pumpkin pies, stewed fruits cookies, and many other desserts. Store in an airtight container in a cool and dark place.
Strawberry-Rhubarb Compote
Strawberries and rhubarb make the perfect fruit pairing! This compote will liven up yogurt, oatmeal, scones, and ice cream and makes the most delicious topping for crêpes! Try and find rhubarb stalks that are smaller in size as they are less tough.
