Eight Precious Pudding - Chinese Cuisine "This is a famous traditional banquet dessert. Usually it contains eight kinds of dried candied fruits that represent eight precious stones."
Ingredients:
* 1 ounce lotus seeds
* 2 cups cold water
* 2 ounces Chinese red dates
* 2 cups glutinous rice
* 1/4 cup sugar
* 3 tablespoons oil
* 1 red maraschino cherry, stemless
* 1 cup any candied fruits
* 1 cup red bean paste

Preparation:
Add lotus seeds to cold water in saucepan. Bring to boil. Simmer on low heat 20 minutes. Drain and cool. Split into halves. Set aside.
Put red dates in bowl on rack in pot or in steamer. Steam covered over boiling water 30 minutes. Set aside.
Put rice in pot with water level 3/4 inch above rice. Bring to boil. Simmer 20 minutes. Stir in sugar and remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Mix well. Set aside.
Grease medium-sized bowl heavily with oil. Place cherry in center. Arrange lotus seeds, red dates, and candied fruits in circles around bottom and up to edge of bowl, glazed side down.
Spread a layer of rice mixture over fruits carefully so as not to spoil the design. Spoon a layer of red bean paste over the rice. Cover with another layer of rice. Pack tight.
Place bowl on rack in pot or in steamer. Cover. Steam over boiling water 1 hour. Remove pudding carefully by running flexible spatula around edge. Put serving plate over bowl and invert bowl.
Serve pudding with Sweet Almond Sauce - Boil 3 tablespoons sugar in 1 cup water, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Stir in 1 teaspoon almond extract. Thicken with 1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons water.

Five-spice Peanuts Peanuts are a symbol of longevity in Chinese culture. Feel free to vary the basic recipe by experimenting with different combinations of spices.

Ingredients:
* 2 cups unsalted peanuts, without skins
* 2 tablespoons butter
* 1/4 cup brown sugar
* 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
* 1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder

Preparation:
Line a baking sheet with foil or wax paper, or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a small heavy saucepan, melt the butter, brown sugar and corn syrup over medium heat to dissolve the sugar. Stir in the five-spice powder. Bring to a boil. Let boil for several minutes without stirring. When it reaches the "soft ball" stage remove from the heat. Stir in the peanuts.
Spread the mixture out on the sheet. Let stand until it has hardened. Break into pieces. Store in a sealed cannister.

Mango pudding is a popular dim sum dessert. "This simple dessert captures the glorious flavor of mango like no other. Its texture is silky rich, and its flavor, simply wonderful. Fresh cream is called for in the original recipe, but evaporated milk gives it the same richness without the fat."

Ingredients:

* 2 envelopes (1 tablespoon) unflavored gelatin
* 3/4 cup (175 mL) sugar
* 1 cup (250 mL) hot water
* 3 cups (750 mL) pureed fresh mangoes
* 1 cup (250 mL) 2 percent evaporated milk
* 8 ice cubes
* lime wedges, optional
* fresh mango slices for garnish, optional

Preparation:
Add gelatin and sugar to hot water and mix until dissolved and smooth.
In large bowl, mix mango puree, evaporated milk and ice cubes. Pour gelatin mixture into mango mixture and stir until ice cubes are melted.
Pour mixture into jelly mould and chill until set, at least 3 hours. To serve, dip jelly mould briefly in hot water then turn pudding out onto platter. Squeeze on some lime juice, garnish with mango slices if desired and serve. (Best eaten within a day). Serves 8.

Red beans make pretty good Chinese deserts. I suggest anything with some red beans in it. Cake, soup, drink, etc.



Not unless you like a good dose of lead for desert.
