The Chinese New Year celebrations are never complete without a big reunion dinner on the eve with our extended family. There are a lot of values and symbolism behind this widely-practiced tradition, with one of them being that it brings prosperity to the entire family. You’ll often see fish, prawn, chicken, noodles, mandarin oranges and glutinous rice cakes, or ‘nian gao’ being featured in the reunion dinner meal. The choice of menu is very important, as every dish brings a different meaning. Some traditional Chinese New Year menus also include fruits and vegetables. With everyone coming together to celebrate and enjoy a meal together, you might be thinking of making a more unique dish that will bring variety to the table. If that’s what you’re looking for, MAGGI® presents to you this Golden Steamed Pumpkin Cake recipe. Soft, fluffy, and appetizing, this pumpkin cake recipe utilises high-quality, dried Korean oysters along with MAGGI® Oyster Sauce that’s made with quality oyster extract. The pumpkin is steamed until soft, and then mixed with four different types of flour; wheat flour, tapioca flour, corn flour and rice flour to create a pumpkin cake that is soft and fluffy. To enhance the flavours of this pumpkin cake, MAGGI® Chicken Stock Cubes are also used. The essence of the chicken stock elevates the savouriness of the dish, making it a perfect seasoning. The finished dish shines golden-yellow and is rich in flavour, making it a perfect addition to the table during Chinese New Year. It’s a perfect complement to the special dishes that are brought to you by MAGGI®, like the Joyful Laughter Spicy Prawn, Prosperity Steamed Red Grouper, Abundant Longevity Stir Fry MAGGI® Mince and Lucky Braised Abalone Oyster. Give your family and loved ones a taste of these recipes this coming Chinese New Year!
