When I was at my parents apartment a couple of weeks ago, they were kind enough to make me my favourite childhood snack Cassava Cake! I was over the moon as it does takes a certain amount of effort to make at home so this really was a special treat! Hence, I am very excited to share with my Steemian friends the entire process of creating this sumptuous cake from scratch.

Cassava Cake is actually a famous Hakka cuisine. The Hakka community are a cultural group originating in North China but at a later stage migrated to the south. My mum being part of the **Hakka people, I was exposed to the rich Hakka culture from a young age and as a great little perk, their delicious dishes too. Cassava Cake is known for its distinct taste and is considered very popular. It's a dish you will never miss at any Hakka dinner party so therefore comes heavily recommended from me for you to try out.


Ingredients:

Cassava (preferable the purple one)
Flour
Spring Onion
Oil, Salt
Dried shrimps (optional)

5/ Pour oil in a pan and place over a medium heated stove. Carefully spoon a large dollop of the mixture into the pan. Continue to add more depending on how big your wok is. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side until it turns a lovely golden brown colour.

And Voila! An authentic and unique pan fried *Cassava Cake made in the traditional Hakka style and ready to serve. The cake should be nice and crisp on the outside and deliciously soft in the middle. The aroma alone should send your taste buds into overdrive, lol. And finally, enjoy while it’s piping hot.

前几个星期我在广州家里的时候,妈妈做了我小时候很爱吃的客家煎薯饼 ,又叫薯粄。我好开心哦,所以在这里和我的Steemian朋友们也分享一下,希望你们喜欢。

薯粄是传统的客家美食。它以独特风味闻名,在客家朋友聚会上总少不了这道菜。我妈妈是客家人,也因为外婆和我们一起住的原因,我自小也受到不少客家文化的熏陶。客家特色菜也是其中之一,呵呵。

下面我和大家分享一下这道菜的用材和制作过程吧。

用料:

紫色大薯
面粉


虾米(看个人喜好)

制作步骤:

1/ 大薯削皮,清洗干净,待用。
2/ 把大薯磨成泥酱。建议戴手套,避免直接触手会出现瘙痒状况。
3/ 把葱切粒,待用。
4/ 把切好的葱粒,虾米,面粉和盐倒入薯酱中,用手抓匀。
5/ 在锅里放入适量油,待油温7成热的时候往锅里放薯酱。放的时候尽量放成一个圆饼的形状。根据锅的大小,放入适量的薯饼数量。每面煎大约5分钟,待薯饼两边呈金黄色便可。

刚煎好的薯粄特别好吃。它外酥内软,香气可口,感觉好幸福哦,满满都是童年的回忆,呵呵!
