    The recipe looks interesting. What do you mean to fry the tapioca flour in a wok till light? Will it not burn in 30-45 minutes?

    Can you use a cookie press/cutter instead of a mold?

    • siewloon says:

      Use very low fire and keep on stirring it. It will burn if you leave the wok.

      You can use cookie cutter.

        Thanks Siewloon. I’ll give this recipe a try. Is tapioca flour the same as tampioca starch? Also, what size are the molds to make 300 pieces? I’m in Canada so will need to buy a cookie cutter.

  6. About getting the wooden molds from cookware shops , do you mean like Sur la Tabla , William Sonoma, or chinese shops in Singapore or Asia. I live in South Carolina, have never came across these wooden molds. Also do you have a recipe for Chwee Kuih. The steamed ones in little ceramic molds with fried dried radish and garlic? If you do , pls. let me know. Thks. for your contribution.

    Does anyone know roughly how many cookies does this make?

  8. Wow! That is a lot of egg yolks! A lot more than what I tried last year! But that may be the very reason why mine failed…

    Have you tried baking this with canned coconut milk. I have trouble getting fresh coconut milk here in Australia.

    I tried making it but it turned out quite tough, not like the light kuih bangkit that I’m used to. Please advise what I might have done wrongly.

    A good CNY cookies recipe is hard to come by. I am very glad you have shared them with us. Definitely going to try it after I managed to source the mold!

    Thanks for recipe. My cookies turn out quite hard. Do you know why or what I could have done wrongly?

      I think you have not knead enough. To get nice kuih bangkit, you need to knead the the dough thoroughly till smooth and white in color.

  13. Ruth says:

  14. glenda says:

    where do i buy a deep fryer for yam ring

    • Carly says:

      Hi, Glenda.
      U don’t need a deep fryer. I just use a Chinese wok. or a deep cooking pot will do the work.But don’t fill up too full with oil. usually I fill up only half way.Have a try!

    May I ask if you can quarter or half this recipe and still get the same results if you want a smaller batch?

    Thanks.

  22. What’s the thickness of the dough if I would to use a cookie cutter? What thickness would be the height?
    Would it be coconut milk or coconut cream, I dont think i can find thick coconut milk..as in Australia, I can only find them in cans.
    Do I fry the flour in a dry pan? must it be a wok?
    Thanks! btw, you really make me miss home with all those pics!
