Korean Mixed Fruits Rice Cake Bars

-
Merry Christmas and Seasons Greetings to all my lovely readers!  Hope you are enjoying the holiday season!

Today is Boxing Day, a day for us to spend with family and friends and eating up the leftovers :).  I have 200g mixed fruits, left from baking two Christmas fruit cakes last week (one for my family, one for my colleagues. It was a hit in the office, everyone loved it). Have you tried flavorful Korean rice cake bars? 

Korean rice cake bars have wonderful coconut milk and fruity flavour. They are crispy on the outside, and chewy  gooey inside. Trust me, they are perfect party starters!

I love this recipe, it's so simple and the filling can be adapted to any choice of nuts and dried fruits. You can adjust the amount of sugar depends on the sweetness you desire. For me, I did not add sugar at all. The flavor came from the moist and juicy fruits!












KOREAN MIXED FRUITS RICE CAKE BARS

Ingredients
  • 200g store-bought mixed fruits (rum soaked)
  • 2 cup glutinous rice flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup coconut cream
  • ⅓ cup sugar (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • walnuts (coarsely chopped), dessicated coconut for decoration

Directions
  1. Combine and mix together all the ingredients for the batter in a large mixing bowl: glutinous rice flour, milk, coconut cream, baking powder and vegetable oil (The consistency will be similar to pancake batter)
  2. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C
  3. Add the mixed fruits, mix until just combined.
  4. Line a 10x10 inch baking pan with non-stick baking paper. Pour the batter into the pan. 
  5. Top with walnuts and desiccated coconut. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Do a skewer test, if the skewer comes out clean, it means that the rice cake are cooked through
  6. Cool and cut into squares. Serve warm or cold.

Chinese New Year (Spring Festival) is still 20 days away, but Singapore is already getting ready for the Year of Horse. CNY decorations are all over the shopping malls, very pretty and impressive. As a home baker, it's time for me to bake CNY cookies . As usual, pineapple tarts are the top in my baking list. This year, I decided to try a different recipe.  Actually, I saw this recipe from Sonia's blog ( Nasi Lemak Lover ) last year. She said it's the "Best Melt-in-the-Mouth" pineapple tart recipe. As I have already finished baking  pineapple tarts  with my own recipe then, so did not have the chance to try.  A few days ago, Zoe from Bake For Happy Kids  shared her experience of baking pineapple tarts with 3 popular recipes. One of them is Sonia's.  Zoe provided a comparison table with ingredients and method used in each recipe, and concluded that Sonia's recipe yields the best melt-in-the-mouth pineapple tarts.  Though I have never doubt "baki

Knowing that I bake muffins, a friend recommended me to try the muffins from Chocolat N' Spice at Shunfu market.  He said Shunfu market - a neighbourhood hawker center,  is famous because of the muffin store.  The snake queue in front of  the muffin store has become an unique scenery of this quiet hawker center. People queueing for muffins? Out of curiosity, I dropped by the store one day during lunch time. Over the one hour stay at the hawer center, I observed an average of 8-9 people in the queue. It has never shortened until all the muffins were sold out.  I bought one box of 6 muffins of different flavours,  priced from $1.30 to $1.60 each.  I chose Chocolate Chip, Double Chocolate, Banana Walnut,  Blueberry, Mocha and Cheese . These freshly baked muffins are large, soft with golden domed top, so enticing. Shared with colleagues, everyone was asking me when I would make the next the trip down. Each of them would like to order one box!  The following week, I brought 6 boxes of
