How to cook Tikoy? Hi there I am your Cooking Mastah Ambo! Since it’s Chinese New Year today, I am going to teach you how to cook Tikoy! By the way, do you know what Tikoy is? Tikoy’s known as Chinese New Year Pudding. It’s made up of rice flour, water, and sugar.
We may not celebrate Chinese New Year festively, but we still enjoy by watching fireworks and dancing dragon on streets. Now let’s enjoy cooking Tikoy!
Simple and very easy!
The Ingredients.
2 ½ cup sweet rice flour
1 ¾ cup water
1 cup sugar
1. All you have to do is to simply mix all the 3 ingredients until it become smooth.
2. Then pour it into a cloth-lined bamboo steamer for 30-60 minutes or as desired.
3. Let it cool and cover it with plastic then store in the fridge. That’s it!
I tell you it’s really easy! You can do it now and make as many as you want! Remember, giving Tikoy as a gift is lucky to the giver!
Oh befoh i fogat, the best way to cook Tikoy is mix it with egg before you fry it. Yes ebun, etlug! hehehe.
Hope you like what i’ve prepared for you today! Again, this is your Cooking Mastah Ambo!
Happy cooking and Kung Hei Fat Choi to everyone!

Love tikoy! Not a common product over here and obviously the Chinese shops don’t call it tikoy. Uy, will you cook some for me and Thom in May?

@ Doc Joy sige ba. Pero mas masarap yung ready made na hahaha. Merong ube at iba’t-ibang flavor. Tapos if you want, try to cook at home. Balot mo sa lumpia wrapper then fry it. Sarap! Gutom tuloy ako hahaha.

ayos naman pala, medyo malata kc nong bagong luto pero nong lumamig ok naman.
kulang kc ung 1 and 3/4 cups of water kaya i added 2 more 3/4 cups to moisten the flour well.
ok ang timpla..sobrang malagkit..tikoy nga talaga.
