# How to Make Sugar-Coated Taro
![Finished Sugar-Coated Taro](./反沙芋头成品.jpg)
Sugar-coated taro is a famous snack from the Chaoshan region, perfect for afternoon tea. It's particularly easy to make. Estimated preparation time: 20 minutes.
Estimated cooking difficulty: ★★★
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
- Lipu taro (available on e-commerce platforms; affordable and fresh)
- White sugar or rock sugar
- Water
- Green onions
## Measurements
- Lipu taro: 200g
- White sugar: 30g
- Water: 15g
## Instructions
- Cut the taro into long strips (slightly thicker strips are better as they hold up well during frying).
- Add enough oil to submerge the taro. Heat the oil until it's ready (test by inserting a chopstick; small bubbles should appear around it).
- Place the taro strips into the hot oil. Fry until they float to the surface, usually turning slightly yellow and becoming easy to pierce with a chopstick.
- Save the oil used for frying the taro; it can be reused for stir-frying or other dishes.
- The key step: Heat the sugar (30g) and water (15g) in a 2:1 ratio until the mixture stops changing color and starts bubbling slightly.
- Add chopped green onions and the fried taro. Turn off the heat and stir-fry. As the temperature drops, the sugar will crystallize and coat the taro, creating the "sugar-coated" effect.
- Plate and serve!
## Additional Notes
- Freshly made sugar-coated taro is very hot; be careful not to burn your mouth.
- Pair it with a cup of tea for a truly relaxing experience.

# How to Make Oreo Ice Cream
Oreo Ice Cream is a simple yet delicious treat. Made with pure dairy cream, it is not overly rich. The estimated preparation time is about 30 minutes (mostly spent whipping the cream and removing the Oreo filling).
Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★★
## Required Ingredients and Tools
- Heavy whipping cream (Recommended brand: Anchor dairy cream)
- Original Oreos
- Electric hand mixer
- A deep container with a capacity of at least 600 ml and a narrow opening (Note: Ensure the electric mixer fits inside). If using an ice cream mold, the container should have a spout for easy pouring.
- Small knife (or a tool to remove the filling)
- Ice cream mold (optional)
## Measurements
Per serving:
- 6 Oreo cookies

# How to Make Chiffon Cake
Chiffon cake is an introductory baking recipe with a moderate level of difficulty. However, once successfully prepared, its texture is delicate and soft, leaving a lasting impression. Including baking time, beginners typically need **1.5 - 2 hours** to complete it.
Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★★☆☆
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
### Tools
* Oven (a rice cooker can be used as a substitute, but it is prone to failure in most cases due to the material of the inner pot)
* Electric mixer (highly recommended; manual mixing is laborious and has a higher risk of failure) or chopsticks (strongly not recommended)
* Aluminum alloy anodized cake pan (do not use non-stick pans; common sizes are 6-inch or 8-inch)
* Spatula (used for folding the cake batter)
### Ingredients
- Eggs
- White sugar
- Milk (or water)
- Cooking oil (or butter, but it needs to be heated and softened)
- Low-protein flour (Huiyi brand recommended)
- [Optional] Lemon juice or white vinegar
## Calculations
Per portion (12 square units):
- 1 egg (standard medium size, approx. 50g)
- White sugar 16g
- Cooking oil 8g
- Milk 10g
- Low-protein flour 17g
Specifically, for common 6-inch and 8-inch cakes:
* 6-inch: Size is 3 portions (i.e., three eggs). Area is 36 square units.
* 3 eggs, 50g white sugar, 25g cooking oil, 30g milk, 50g low-protein flour
* 8-inch: Size is 5 portions (i.e., five eggs). Area is 64 square units.
* 5 eggs, 80g white sugar, 40g cooking oil, 50g milk, 90g low-protein flour
## Procedure
### Initial Separation Steps
* Take fresh eggs out of the refrigerator
* Prepare two containers and dry them thoroughly; use one for egg whites and the other for egg yolks
* The container for egg whites can have slight moisture, but **must be completely free of oil**; the container for egg yolks must be free of water droplets
* Crack the eggs, using your hands or an egg separator, to separate the whites and yolks into the respective containers.
* Ensure the yolks do not break during separation, and **no yolk should mix into the whites**, as this will severely affect whipping. (Small strands of egg white membrane can go into the whites without issue.)
* (Note: If not using a stand mixer, the container holding the egg whites will also serve as the mixing bowl. To prevent overflow, ensure the volume of egg whites does not exceed **1/8** of the container's capacity after adding all of them.)
### Mixing the Egg Yolk Mixture
* Prepare a clean, empty bowl, add all the cooking oil, then add the cake flour and stir
* The oil will directly inhibit the formation of gluten
* Add the egg yolks to the bowl, then add the milk and **1/4** of the granulated sugar. Stir evenly with a spatula
* Although the milk added at this stage contains water, gluten formation should not occur.
* Prepare the cake flour. While slowly sprinkling it into the bowl, stir in a "Z-shape" (zigzag) motion with a spatula. This means the spatula should only move along the sides or front/back relative to the blade's edge. **Do not stir randomly in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction**
* Continue by adding all the flour, still using the above stirring method, until the mixture is uniform and no dry flour remains. (It is normal for some clumps to appear; continue stirring to disperse them)
* Let it rest and set aside
### Whipping Egg Whites
* Prepare the remaining **3/4** of the granulated sugar. Divide it into three equal parts, each being **1/4** of the total amount
* Add lemon juice or white vinegar to the egg whites (optional)
* Using an electric mixer at medium speed, whip the egg whites until they form *large, coarse bubbles*, then add the **first portion of sugar**
* Increase the mixer to high speed and whip the egg whites until the bubbles become *finer*, then add the **second portion of sugar**
* Keep the mixer on high speed and whip the egg whites until they reach a *"soft peak"* stage (when you lift the mixer head, a long, curved tip forms), then add the **third portion of sugar**
* Reduce the mixer speed to medium-low and whip the egg whites until they reach a *"stiff peak"* stage (when you lift the mixer head, a short, upright tip forms; when you invert the bowl, the egg whites should not fall out)
* The egg whites are now whipped to the required consistency
* For reference on judging the state of the egg whites, see the images in the attached link.
* The mixer head should be kept close to the bottom of the bowl to prevent the top layer from being over-whipped while the bottom remains liquid.
### Folding the Batter
* Give the egg yolk mixture a simple stir a few times
* Use a spatula to take **1/3** of the meringue and add it to the egg yolk batter
* Use the "folding" technique to avoid deflating the batter
* The folding technique involves:
* First, insert the spatula held in your right hand from the center of the bowl down to the bottom
* Scrape towards the 8 o'clock position until you hit the side of the bowl, then lift the batter up into the air and bring it back to the center of the bowl to drop it in
* Hold the bowl with your left hand and rotate it from the 9 o'clock position to the 7 o'clock position, completing a 60-degree rotation for one cycle
* The speed should be approximately two cycles per second
* This method comes from "Miss Kojima's Cake Classroom." In layman's terms, it is like stir-frying vegetables.
* Pour the mixture of the **1/3** meringue and egg yolk batter into the remaining **2/3** of the meringue, and continue folding until evenly combined
* Pour the cake batter into the mold and tap it a few times to remove large air bubbles
### Baking
* Total baking time: 30-35 minutes for a 6-inch cake, 50 minutes for an 8-inch cake. Adjust flexibly based on your oven's characteristics; generally, do not exceed $\pm 5$ minutes. (Observe in front of the oven during the last few minutes.)
* Preheat the oven with the **top element at **150** °C and the bottom element at **160** °C**. It takes about 10 minutes to reach the target temperature.
* After preheating, place the mold on the lower rack of the oven.
* Select **variable temperature baking**, which consists of two stages:
* Stage 1 oven settings: Top element **150** °C, bottom element **160** °C;
* The first **3/5** of the total baking time is Stage 1;
* Stage 2 temperature: Top element **160** °C, bottom element **170** °C;
* The last **2/5** of the total baking time is Stage 2. Switch stages by directly adjusting the oven temperature.
* Once baked, remove from the oven:
* This step may **scald your hands**; use a towel for assistance.
### Cooling and Unmolding
- (Optional) Drop the mold from a height to release hot air.
- Invert the mold for 10 minutes to cool the cake:
* Removing the cake from the mold before it cools may damage it.
* This step may **scald your hands**; use a towel for assistance.
- Unmold and serve.
## Additional Notes
- Referenced the following tutorial, which provides very detailed instructions with images for each step. It also explains the rationale behind each operation, the underlying principles, and analysis of potential issues:
- [To make this Chiffon Cake, I used a whole box of eggs, and never again will I face a sunken bottom or collapse](https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/86865919)
- For Chiffon cakes, whipping egg whites is a secondary concern; the key is the **temperature and time during baking**.
- Regarding the containers for egg whites and yolks: The egg white container may have water droplets, but the egg yolk container must not.
* Reason: Oil affects the whipping of egg whites. Since egg whites are 85% water, slight water droplets do not hinder whipping.
* For very fresh eggs, the egg whites are firmer. For a 5-egg recipe, adding 15ml of water helps whip the egg whites (3g of water per egg).
- The sugar added during whipping actually dissolves in the water within the egg whites first, forming a syrup solution that coats the bubbles and protects them.
- Temperature significantly affects the rate and solubility of sugar dissolving in water. Egg whites taken directly from the refrigerator are harder to whip. However, colder eggs are easier to separate. It is recommended to let them return to room temperature before whipping.

# Honey Bread Recipe Without a Stand Mixer
![Finished Product](./无厨师机蜂蜜面包.jpg)
This recipe requires no stand mixer, just patience! You can prepare it in the evening and refrigerate it, then bake it the next day. While the texture isn't quite as good as when using a stand mixer, it's still quite decent. For best results, store it in the fridge and microwave it for a few seconds before eating. Most of the time is spent on the dough rising process.
Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★★☆☆
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
Dough Base
- Bread Flour: 400g
- Milk: 200g
- Yeast: 4g
- Egg: 1
- Granulated Sugar: 70g
- Salt: 2g
- Butter: 30g
Honey Water (for brushing on top)
- Honey: 20g
- Water: 20g
Optional (for sprinkling on top)
- Sesame Seeds
## Calculations
The following ingredients are for baking using a rectangular baking pan (10 x 15 inches / approx. 25 x 38 cm) + a square baking pan (9 x 9 inches / approx. 23 x 23 cm) + parchment paper. It is recommended to reduce the quantities according to your needs. This batch lasts about two weeks for breakfast (when stored in the fridge). Note that bread stored in the fridge will harden; simply microwave it for 10-20 seconds to restore softness.
## Instructions
- Make the dough: Mix flour, milk (heated to 40°C, approx. 104°F; I used a microwave for 15-20 seconds), yeast, egg, sugar, and salt.
- Knead the dough until the ingredients are well combined and form a cohesive ball.
- Add the butter and mix in.
- Continue kneading and hand-mixing until evenly combined.
- Start the first rise: Cover the container with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature (10-20°C / 50-68°F) for 1-2 hours. A slightly longer time won't negatively affect the result.
- Once the dough has visibly doubled in size, you can start dividing it. At this stage, the dough should no longer be very sticky.
- Divide the dough: Ideally, each piece should weigh 60g for a neat appearance, but you can adjust the size to your preference.
- Roll each small piece of dough into a tongue shape using a rolling pin, then roll it up. Let it rest (second rise) for 10 minutes.
- Roll each piece into a tongue shape again and cut it in half (one becomes two).
- Roll each piece into a tongue shape again and cut it in half again (two becomes four). (You can repeat the rolling/folding steps as much as time permits, just ensure the final portion size is consistent.)
- Line the baking pan with parchment paper and pour in some peanut oil. Dip the bottom of each rolled piece into water and then flour before placing it in the pan.
- Second rise (cover with plastic wrap). You can place this in the fridge and bake it the next day.
- Brush with egg wash.
- Bake at 180°C (355°F) for 18-20 minutes.
- Once out of the oven, brush with honey water and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
## Additional Notes
- The proofing time is not fixed; check every hour to confirm. It is ready when it visibly doubles in size. It is recommended to proof until it is 2 to 2.5 times its original size.
- The size of the dough does not significantly affect the texture or baking results, so you can adjust it according to your preference.

- Stir clockwise with chopsticks until the mixture becomes a pale yellow batter.
- Add 5g of sugar, 40g of flour, and 40ml of water to the pan.
- Continue stirring with chopsticks until the mixture becomes a pale yellow batter.
- Place the pan on the air fryer basket and bake at 180°C for 15 minutes.
- Open the air fryer, carefully remove the pan, and flip the cake using chopsticks or a spoon.
- Continue baking at 180°C for 8 minutes.
- Remove and serve.
## Additional Notes
- If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add an extra 10g of sugar.
- The amount of red pomelo flesh can be adjusted, but it is best not to exceed 40g per serving to avoid affecting the appearance of the finished cake.
- "Batter" refers to a mixture with no lumps of flour and an even color throughout.
- The aluminum foil pan will be hot right out of the oven. Use tongs or heat-resistant materials like a damp cloth to handle it.

- Sugar
- Ghee— can be substituted with butter

# How to Make Konjac Cake
Konjac cake is a low-calorie dessert. The cake itself is gluten-free and uses zero-calorie sweeteners instead of white sugar, making it ideal for those on a fat-loss diet. Including baking time, it generally takes about **0.5 hours** to complete.
Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★★★
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
### Tools
* Oven
* Electric hand mixer
* Metal cake pan (any shape)
* Baking paper
* Spatula (for folding and smoothing the batter)
* Heat-resistant gloves
* [Optional] Egg separator
### Ingredients
* Eggs
* Erythritol
* Cocoa powder
* Konjac flour
* Cream of tartar
## Measurements
Per serving (9.25 × 5 × 1 inches):
* 3 eggs
* 50g Erythritol
* 10g Cocoa powder
* 10g Konjac flour
* 1g Cream of tartar
## Instructions
### Preheat the Oven
* Start preheating the oven to 350 ℉ (150 ℃) before preparing the batter to save time.
### Initial Separation Steps
* Take fresh eggs out of the refrigerator.
* Prepare two clean, dry containers to hold the egg whites and yolks separately.
* The container for egg whites can have slight moisture but **must be completely free of oil**; the container for egg yolks must not have any water droplets.
* Crack the eggs and separate the whites from the yolks into the two containers using your hands or an egg separator.
* Ensure the yolks do not break, and **no yolk should mix into the egg whites**, as this will severely hinder whipping. (Small white chalazae strands are fine to enter the whites and do not affect the process.)
* (Note: If not using a stand mixer, the container holding the egg whites will also be used for whipping. To prevent overflow, ensure the volume does not exceed **1/8** of the container's capacity after adding all the egg whites.)
### Whipping the Egg Whites
* Add 1g of cream of tartar to the egg whites.
* Whip on high speed until the mixture reaches a *coarse bubbly state*, then add 50g of erythritol.
* Reduce the mixer to medium-low speed and whip until the egg whites reach a *stiff peak state* (when the mixer head is lifted, short, upright peaks form; when the container is inverted, the whites should stick to the container and not fall out).
* At this point, the egg whites are whipped to the required consistency.
* Keep the mixer head close to the bottom of the container to prevent a situation where the top layer is whipped but the bottom remains liquid.
### Mixing Other Ingredients
* Add the separated egg yolks to the whipped egg whites and mix evenly with an electric mixer at low to medium speed.
* Add **10g cocoa powder** and **10g konjac flour** to the egg whites. First, fold them in gently with a spatula because using an electric mixer directly may cause the powder to splash.
* The folding technique is as follows:
* Hold the spatula with your right hand and insert it from the center of the mixing bowl to the bottom of the batter.
* Scrape towards the 8 o'clock direction until you hit the side of the bowl. Gently lift the batter into the air, then move it back to the center of the bowl to release it.
* Hold the mixing bowl with your left hand and rotate it from the 9 o'clock position to the 7 o'clock position. This completes one cycle with a rotation of 60 degrees.
* The speed should be approximately 2 strokes per second.
* This method is from *Kojima Sensei's Cake Class*. In layman's terms, it is like stir-frying vegetables.
* After folding, mix evenly with an electric mixer at low speed.
### Baking
* Line the mold with parchment paper, ensuring it fits snugly against the bottom and inner walls.
* Pour the cake batter into the mold, smooth the top with a spatula, and then tap the mold a few times to remove large air bubbles.
* Bake for 25 minutes.
* Once baked, remove the mold using heat-resistant gloves.
### Cooling and Unmolding
* (Optional) Drop the mold from a height to release trapped steam.
* Invert the mold for 10 minutes to allow the cake to cool.
* Unmolding the cake immediately before it has cooled may damage it.
* This step may be **hot**, so be sure to wear heat-resistant gloves.
* Unmold the cake, slice it with a spatula, and serve.
## Additional Information
* This recipe is primarily based on the video [Keto Konjac Chocolate Cake生酮蛋糕](https://youtu.be/gzXlOrGI54U).
* The process for whipping egg whites and other steps is heavily inspired by the [Chiffon Cake](../戚风蛋糕/戚风蛋糕.md) preparation method.
