It is a tradition to eat steamed cake during chineses new year. In chinese, steamed cake is called "Zheng Gao" that is pronounced similar to the chinese character "high". This brings luck since it indicates that our career and life will be improved in the coming new year. Of course it is not the main reason that we cooked this. After reading some recipes on this, we realized that the procedures and ingredients are in fact pretty simple. The ingredients ar as follow:
Carrot (around 1 kg)
Dried schrimps
Chinese sausage
Char siew (can be left out though)
Spring onions
Rice flour
First of all, fried the dried schrimps, chinese sausage and char siew and spring onions until fragrant. Dished out and put aside. Shred the carrots and cook it for around 20-30 minutes adding water occasionally when it gets too dry. It is ready when the carrots become transparent. Mixed in the fried ingredients before and flavoring (salt, pinch of sugar and white peper). Switch off the heat and put aside. Mixed 300 g rice flour with 3 cups of water. Make sure the flour is well disolved. Pour in the rice flour mixture and stir thoroughly. Finally, fill into a cake form and steamed over high heat for 30-35 minutes.
It can be eaten just like this or we prefered to cut the carrot cake into pieces and fried it before serving (煎萝卜糕).
