I had an overripe mango. So, I decided to make tong yuen. Just add on glutinous rice flour and some water to it, mix and knead. I let it rest for an hour, as I waited for barley drink to boil.

Barley drink – barley, red dates, dried longan, wolf berries and small piece coconut sugar

I can’t make the traditional way of ginger soup as my hubby doesn’t like ginger.

Fattening day! tongue emoticon My friend shared a video on fb the other day on how to make this. And so I itched to make. I went and korek my white sugar hidden in the cupboard that I have not used for more than a year – praying that it did not expired.

Very easy just three main ingredients: sweet potato (steamed or boiled), all purpose flour, sugar

Oil to fry (since I fried banana fritters) and water for sugar to thicken

Ways: Mashed sweet potato and add all purpose flour bit by bit to form dough. Then mold become doughnut shape. Next, fry them. After done, remove oil, add in sugar and some water, coat the donut with the sugar. Remove and cool down.

Since I have left over marinated mixed pork from my girl’s meal (sesame oil, lemon juice and pepper), I just added the leftover steamed yam and chopped yam bean. Mixed and rolled with salted beancurd skin. No need extra salt as the skin is salty enough. Pan fried and I further baked it as I fear the meat not cooked.
