bubur craze!

Just last Friday, I went to a friend's house to experiment making Bubur cha-cha. Why? Well, church is organising a Mamak night where (well, the name says it all) mamak food is being sold! I think it's a semesterly thing. Anyway, I was tempted to show off my cooking skill (yea right) by setting up a stall. I invited my friends, namely Jaclyn and Cheah Yen to set it up with me (I can't be doing it all by myself!) We decided to make 'bubur's...Bubur cha-cha, red bean, black glutinous rice, barley (Hehe...so exciting just thinking about it ^^)

Back to my story.

On Friday, we went grocery shopping. This is our first time making it so, we wanted to test it out before selling it. It's really easy to do actually.


Ingredients:


  • Yam

  • Sweet potatoes

  • Rock sugar

  • Coconut (we used cream because they didn't have any other type)

  • Sago

  • Pandan leaf (shredded and tied tightly)

Method:


  1. Steam the sweet potatoes first, then the yam as the yam softens faster.

  2. Cut the sweet potatoes and yam into cubes or any other shape you would like it to be.

  3. Boil some water and put in the sago. Remember to constantly stir so that the sago will not stick to each other.

  4. After the sago becomes transparent, put in the coconut cream, sugar and pandan leaf.

  5. Wait till the rock sugar has disolved and then put in the cubed sweet potatoes and yam.

  6. Cook for awhile longer and TA-DA!


After making the bubur cha-cha, Jaclyn and Cheah Yen took it to their cell meeting (hehe...making the cell members the guinea pigs =P) and apparently it was good.


Bangga........ ^^ not bad for first timers.


You know what, i think the secret is in the amount of coconut you put in. Of course not too thick!!! It'll be too jalak!! *bluek*


Too bad I didn't take a picture though but this is what it's suppose to look like...


I'm determined to make one for myself! MUAHAHA! Next experiment would be red bean soup, barley and the black glutinous rice.


ps: any other tips that you can share?
