Yam Cake(Woo Tau Koh) 香味芋头糕



With plenty of ingredient inside out. Hmm..... Its mouth watery 1 meal dish

Another Hawker delight - Wu tau Koh
But when you buy wu tau koh at hawker store, you hardly find many ingredients, some miserable amount of dry prawns, few pcs of yam, some preserved reddish and some crispy fried onion, and spring onion only.

On the other hand if you DIY woh tau koh at home, u can add lots of ingredients and you have all the Ohmp for a hearty home made woh tau koh.









I am sharing the recipe with you here.

5-6 pcs of chinese mushrooms - soaked and diced
100gm dried prawns - soaked and chopped coarsely

3 tbsp cooking oil

100gm shallots - deep fried till crispy


Seasoning

2 -3 tsp of aromatic spice

With plenty of ingredients to make this a real yummy 1 dish meal or dessert. Did you notice that on one side of the Woh Tau Koh is without greens, that is for "someone" whose doesn't like greens! I only have small chilli (chilli padi), so just add on.... since we loved spicy hot food.





Frying the Chinese sausages, Chinese mushrooms and cubed yam. Make sure not to cooked the yam too soft, as you love to have the tangy chewy  of yam.


Mix in the flour mixture and continue to stir till the mixture is thicken and sticky.
