The story of my humble Penang Laksa ..sweet, sour and spicy – those are the three magic words best described for fulfilling a satisfying bowl of Penang asam laksa.
PEACH GUM TAO JIAO DESSERT
Peach gum or Tao Jiao is the dried resin harvested from the Chinese peach trees. Today I finally got the chance to cook my own peach gum dessert to feel the taste. Made a nourishing & collagen booster desert.
They say beauty starts from inside out and one of the best ways to start with, is having a bowl of hot, sweet dessert full of natural collagen. Once cook, it's jelly-like stuff texture is soft and tasteless. Since peach gum is tasteless, it's pairs well with and to add other ingredients like snow fungus, dried longan. red dates. gingko and dried winter melon etc these are all good antioxidant.
Peach gum . snow fungus, red dates, dried longan , dried winter melon and Gingko.
This is how it looks like after soaking for 5 hours
In a pot of 2 liter boiling water add in the snow fungus and red dates to simmer for 10 minutes when soften I add the rest like dried longan, dried winter melon and gingko to simmer. Just remember to add in peach gum the last. otherwise it may totally melts and dissolve totally. You may add rock sugar and as for my preference I omit and am ok without.
COLD COLESLAW WITH ROASTED SESAME SEED MAYO
Coleslaws can be a light crunchy salad make with shredded round cabbage and carrot mixed with mayonnaise and served as a side dish.
Today I choose to mixed with my home make roasted sesame seed mayo
I would like to share after a 24 hours kept in the fridge my coleslaw still remain as creamy as it is without me adding buttermilk nor do I add whipping cream. Pounded sesame seed is the secret.
