butter (melted)
60g
lard (melted)

milk

3
t double action powder
½
t dark soya sauce
Some
olive nuts or red cherries as decoration

cooked. Cut into pieces & serve
Note

This
is a very simple way of making Mah Lai Koh.
The result is very good- soft & tasty. The thickness of the batter should not be
more than 2 ½ cm before steaming, so that the Mah Lai Koh is more fluffy
Bought a packet of 1 kg Hong Kong flour sometime back & haven't had a chance to use it yet. Since Ma's around, took the opportunity to make this together.
Though Lee Lee raved about this recipe, mine didn't look & taste that good :( Need more practice !!! However, I sure had fun doing this with Ma :)
Ma has high cholesterol so she avoided eating the squid & Erin can't take chewy food so both of them shared this dish for dinner.
Planned to try this recipe months' back but never got onto it. I fell in love with this dessert when I first had it in Hong Kong a decade ago.
It came out lovely :) Will be making this more often now that I know the method. Loved steamed milk (燉奶) as well hence will try to look for the recipe soon.
