golden color glutinous fish 金黄色的鱼米糕

今年拜天公的糕点都是自己弄的。 有米龟，米糕，发糕。

米龟（忘记拍照片）食谱是跟着第58期的Y3K做的，出来的效果超满意。

米糕是用这个饭锅煮的（超容易）。 我不喜欢白色的米糕所以就鸡婆用萝卜汁来煮糯米， 还好出来的的米糕还见得人。 哈哈！

米糕的材料：

2 碗 白糯米（先浸4 小时）

1 碗半的萝卜汁 （用3 颗萝卜较出来的汁）

半碗浓椰浆 （大概RM1.00 的椰浆）

2-3片香草叶

十大匙白糖

做法：

1.） 把糯米，萝卜汁，糖及香草叶放进饭锅内后按《快煮》煮至熟。

2.）把香草叶拿掉后加入浓椰浆搅拌至全部的糯米饭都沾到椰浆。

3.）趁热 我把糯米饭放进鲤鱼燕菜模内用汤匙压紧(用葡萄干做成鲤鱼的眼睛- 这是在Anncoo的家 学的）

4.）把鲤鱼米糕脱模后排在盘上即可。
