Impress your friends and relatives with these simple yet lip-smacking festive dishes using Angel Brand Sauces!
Chinese New Year Recipes You Can Try Making Using Angel Brand Sauces:
#1 Eight Treasures Rice
While traditionally Eight Treasures Rice is a dessert made from sweetened sticky rice, topped with eight different toppings or “treasures” and stuffed with red bean paste, we’ll be making a meatier variant that’s closer to the Malaysian taste buds. We’ve tweaked the recipe a little so it’s more convenient to make but still packs a punch of flavours, and is especially aromatic when you pair the recipe with Angel Brand Sauces.
Ingredients:
- 400g Jasmine Sunwhite Fragrant Rice, washed and drained
- 4 tbsp Angel Light Soy Sauce (Selected)
- 10 tbsp Angel Oyster Sauce
- 1 tsp Angel Thick Caramel
- 40g minced ginger
- 80g minced garlic
- 100g dried prawns, soaked until soft and roughly chopped
- 50g dried scallops, soaked overnight with liquid reserved
- 50g dried oysters, soaked overnight with liquid reserved
- 100g Chinese sausages, diced
- 200g carrots, diced
- 50g dried shiitake mushrooms, soaked overnight with liquid reserved, sliced
- 130g fresh lotus seeds
- 1000ml liquid (reserved from scallops, oysters, and mushrooms)
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
Garnish
- 100g toasted cashew nuts
- 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
Steps:
- Add in Angel Light Soy Sauce (Selected), Angel Oyster Sauce and Angel Thick Caramel into Jasmine Sunwhite Fragrant Rice. Mix well.
- Heat up cooking oil and sesame oil in a wok, add ginger, garlic and dried prawns into the wok. Stir fry until fragrant.
- Add the premixed fragrant rice and stir fry for 5-6 minutes.
- Add in carrots, shiitake mushrooms, lotus seeds, dried scallops, dried oysters and Chinese sausages and continue to stir fry for another minute.
- Pour in 250 ml of liquid. Stir fry until all liquid is absorbed into the ingredients and repeat for another 3 times. Remove and set aside.
- Brush a bowl with a layer of butter. Layer the bottom of the bowl with the cooked ingredients first (deco based on your preferences), followed by the remaining rice mixture.
- Steam for 30 minutes using medium-large fire (or may use rice cooker to steam).
- To serve, flip the bowl upside down on a plate. Remove the plate and garnish the Eight Treasures Rice with cashew nuts and spring onions.
