Thanks for sharing this recipe. Now I can kill two birds with one stone - finish up the koh fun left over from mooncake as well as giving this sweets to my sister-in-law (her favourite).

Yochana, you are just fantastic!

hi aunty another question is does the fluffy candy taste very sweet? or just nice, thanks

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi anonymous,

aunty has sweet tooth so 200 gm is just nice for me. If you don't have a sweet tooth, you can cut down to 180 gm. Can't cut down too much cos this is plain and if it's not sweet, it won't be nice.

Hi maggie,

I've not tried frying kao fen myself but I don't it doesn't work if I make my own kao fen (frying glutinous rice flour).

'Leave to set and then roll up like a Swiss roll'

Aunty Yo, we leave it to set for how long before rolling up like swiss roll?

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi quinn,

Test whether it's set by pressing with your finger. Don't worry if it sticks a little. Toss it into the fried tapioca flour.

Rolling is a bit tough here , I must warn you. What you can do is to stack both colour on top of one another then when it's set, cut into squares or rectangles.
