Yummy Nonya Kaya

i found this Nonya Kaya receipe from a food blog by a NTU undergraduate. simple enough, so i decided to make Kaya tonight. i don't have a breadmaker, so i used the traditional over-the-stove method. because i'm a very careless and impatient person, it has to be double boil method, so that i won't burn the bottom! wahahahaa...

conclusion, it tasted just like how my 外婆 used to make it when we visited her in JB many many years ago. as i was stirring my kaya, i was reminiscing those times. i'm going to ask my uncle to bring home a bottle for her, with a big ang pow for CNY.



Yummy Nonya Kaya
1 cup or 250ml coconut milk
1 cup or 250ml egg, beaten (approx 4 eggs)
3/4 cup sugar
10-15 pandan leaves

1. Wash, dry and tie the pandan leaves in bundles (or alternatively use Pandan juice, see below).
2. Put all ingredients into a stainless steel pot placed over a bigger pot with tap water (double boil method).
3. Heat up till water is boiling. Allow the water to continue boiling over a small flame. Top up water if necessary. Stir the kaya mixture continuously. This will take up to almost an hour.
4. Kaya will be curdy and watery. Allow to cool before blending. Store in glass jars.
5. Enjoy Kaya on a slice of toasted bread with butter. Yummy!

i used my stick blender (Braun MR4050), so i could actually blend the kaya right in the pot while it's still hot.

pandan juice - blend 10-15 pandan leaves (cut into small pieces) with just enough water to cover the leaves in the blender. strain using a sieve.
