It was a somewhat hot, sticky, sweaty but aromatic afternoon.
K and I were battling it out in the kitchen.
The opponents?
500gm of rice flour, 500gm of yam, black mushrooms, chinese sausages, dried shrimp, soy sauce, sesame oil, pepper, sugar and water. Oh yes, coriander, ried shallots, red chilli and spring onions.
Yeah, oh well, we were making Yam Cake.
1st attempt.
It turned out alright in terms of texture, colour, garnish and all.
BUT. I took my first taste and it was friggin bland. Darn.
We followed the recipe to a T. I think we should have just gone with our instincs. Afterall, cooking is quite usually based on instinct and "aggarration".
Still, it was a good first sttempt. Next time round it'll be MUCH BETTER.
I'll guarantee it. :)
A colourful colourful forest of garnishing...
