Popular street food in Hong Kong. These are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Gai Daan Jai (Tsai) means Little Chicken Eggs. Other names include Puffe, Bubble Waffle, Eggettes, Egg Puffs and I am sure there are other names. Served for breakfast or an afternoon snack. Either served flat or rolled with fruit in the center. You must have a special egg waffle pan to make these. You can find a nice one at Williams Sonoma.
This is a Cambodian recipe that I’ve learned from a Cambodian-American friend of mine. I’ll even eat it for breakfast! It’s delicious served warm, can be dressed up with other fruit and is also a refreshing cold dessert.
This is a cheap and delicious dish my Mom use to make for breakfast. In my house it’s for any time of the day. I also make it without the sausage when I don’t have any on hand.
I got this recipe from a grandmother in Phnom Penh. It’s normally eaten for breakfast in Cambodia, but westerners would probably consider it lunch or dinner food. If you can’t find the powdered rice root, don’t worry, it’s not that importaint. For the toasted rice powder, toast the rice in a dry pan until brown and grind to a powder.
After living in the UK and rightfully becoming a scone, jam and clotted cream addict… I had to learn how to make Cornish cream at home. How hard could it be? Well… harder than you would think, for all the wrong reasons. It seems that finding the right cream is the real challenge. The best Cornish cream is made from fresh, unpasteurized, cream. In our ultra-pasteurized world, it is next to impossible to find unless you have a diary farmer tucked into your list of bff’s. To further complicate things, I now live in the Netherlands. One would think that with all of the cows here (happiest cows on earth) it would be easier. No, no no no. Think again. So, I have modified, and tweeked a bit here and there to create clotted cream that is still a little piece of heaven on earth. That being said, if you can get your hands on unpasteurized cream to make this recipe, by all means use it! Also consider smuggling me some 🙂
