It is a traditional custom to eat festive food during the Lunar New Year. There are various types of radish cakes, taro cakes, rice cakes and other festive cakes on the market from small neighborhood bakeries to large five-star hotels.
The competition is fierce, and many are trying their best to attract customers. However, the carrot cake and taro cake recently launched by Sister Son have returned to the original simplicity, using the most basic ingredients to create the best taste.

Zhang Huimin, known as "Sister Son", is a senior headhunter and corporate consultant. She is also the "cooking" of the family. She has good cooking skills and often greets friends when she cooks in person. He founded his own brand network of "Son-level recommendation" last year. Go to the store and launch home-made chili oil, honey, vinegar, etc. Recently, carrot cakes and taro cakes have been launched on holiday, bringing the traditional taste of real ingredients to Hong Kong people.
Using the taste of home to narrow the distance between people,
Sister Son said that the annual Lunar New Year whole taro cake is a family tradition. A batch of taro cakes were made for friends to taste earlier, and they were well received. With the encouragement of friends, they joined carrot cakes in The "Son-level recommendation" website was on the shelves, and immediately sold out 500 bottoms as soon as it was launched without advertising. So the idea of selling in the supermarket was born. I hope everyone can taste the seasonal cakes.
She believes that food is also one of the channels to maintain the relationship between people. In recent years, the distance between people has become much more distant, especially between family members. With the advent of tablet computers, everyone is often different. Time and place to eat.
She hopes to "make the taste of home" and use her pastries to narrow the distance between her family.
When
asked about the
traditional taste of the three-generation recipe, it is
different from the new year cakes on the market. Sister Son proudly said that her radish cakes and taro cakes are all without additional preservatives, artificial colors, and MSG, and they have been passed down from the mother-in-law’s generation. Three generations of recipes, traditional flavors are made with mother’s heart.
She emphasized, "The recipes for the family are presented directly, without cutting corners or choosing cheap ingredients to reduce costs." In order to launch her own homemade pastries, she has tried all kinds of radish cakes and taro cakes in the market, Sister Son confidently said. "It's still the best food I made!"
The requirement for ingredients is very high at
a bottom of $288. In fact, it is by no means cheap. Is there anything wrong with it?
Sister Son pointed out that there are some New Year cakes in the market that are expensive and expensive. She just wants to be a gimmick, adding ingredients that don't match the pastries at all. !" The prices of her radish cakes and taro cakes are completely reflected in the quality and process of the basic ingredients, all of which are thought and time.
Sister Son has very high requirements for ingredients. She personally went to a well-known wholesaler to select ingredients. Taking shrimps as an example, even if the cost is higher than that of whole dried shrimps, she specifically asked the supplier for frozen dried shrimps because it has a little more moisture than whole dried shrimps. , Relatively moist, "The texture is similar to meat floss after being broken, and it will not die solid after sauteing."
In addition to the particular ingredients, two oils are used: Extra virgin olive oil and Olive pomace oil.
Sister Son shared, "Because the extra virgin olive oil has a low smoke point, it has smoked at 60-70 degrees and cannot savor the flavor. Olive pomace oil is suitable for high temperatures and is used to saute shrimp, bacon and other ingredients before adding extra virgin olive oil. Fried taro with virgin olive oil.” So why not just use olive pomace oil?
She expressed her love for the superior texture of olive oil, which makes the pastries particularly rich.
"I am bold enough to say that I am the only one in Hong Kong to do this."
Process complicated spend enough effort
in addition to pay attention to the ingredients, Son sister also in terms of weight and step off the foot effort, do every day 0:00 of 5:00, and sometimes even do the morning 2,3 points.
Take taro cake as an example, taro is much more than flour. One kilogram of taro will only lose 200 grams of flour, which is like eating tight taro cake.
"All taro is cut by hand, and you can check it once. Sometimes you know that the middle is rotten when you cut it. You don’t know if you cut it with a machine. Moreover, there are thick and thin hand-cuts, and the thin part will melt during the cooking process. Inside the flour paste, it turns into taro puree, and the larger ones can enrich the taste and eat the taro cubes." When cooking taro, you need to keep watching and adjust the amount of water according to the texture of the taro.
She continued to add, "Another example is dried shrimps. Most people will sauté the dried shrimps immediately after soaking them, but I will dry the water first, break them up before sautéing, and incorporate the flavor of dried shrimps into the whole cake." The process is so complicated and selling. Two hundred mosquitoes are definitely not too much.
