๐ Homemade Honey-Sweetened Tikoy Recipe ๐
Make your Chinese New Year extra special with this healthier and delightful twist on Tikoyโsweetened naturally with honey! ๐ฏ
Ingredients:
2 cups glutinous rice flour
1 cup water
1/2 cup honey (adjust to taste)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Banana leaves or parchment paper (for lining)
Oil (for greasing)
Instructions:
1๏ธโฃ Prepare Your Steamer
Heat water in your steamer. Line a round or square pan with banana leaves or parchment paper, then lightly grease it with oil.
2๏ธโฃ Mix It Up
In a bowl, combine glutinous rice flour, water, and honey. Mix until smooth and free of lumps. Add vanilla extract for extra flavor if you'd like!
3๏ธโฃ Pour and Steam
Pour the batter into your prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Steam for 45 minutes to 1 hour over medium heat, or until the Tikoy is firm and fully cooked.
Tip: Cover the steamer lid with a cloth to prevent water droplets from dripping onto the Tikoy.
4๏ธโฃ Cool and Slice
Let the Tikoy cool completely before slicing into your favorite shapes.
5๏ธโฃ Optional Crispy Twist
For a golden, crispy exterior, dip Tikoy slices in beaten egg and pan-fry until golden brown.
โจ That's it! A healthier, honey-sweetened Tikoy perfect for celebrations or sharing with loved ones. ๐
