My friend sent me a recipe from Kenwood since lately she bought a Kenwood mix stander. She knows I like cooking and therefore she sent this recipe to me. As you can see from the attached image, this is one kind of Chinese New Year cakes. This fish cake can be yellow or red which it uses the pumpkin and carrot as the color. It is easy to make this kind of cake but of course I shall buy a mould of it at first The fish shape stands for good luck which there will be something left every year

I thought that you need a mould to make the cakes, they look great. What is the main ingredient?

I haven't checked it yet, but I think it will mainly use the coconut juice, sticky rice flour and various kinds of nuts as the filling inside.

@youless I have checked some recipes and they all use the sticky rice flour. They do not seem hard to make.

@louievill It depends on whether your mould is large or not

Oh how neat to be able to make these lovely carps! These are fish cakes? I've only bought fish cakes - the usual roundish ones . . . these would be fun to have for New Years (oh I hope we will be able to celebrate New Years with our families in the coming year!).

@youless In our culture, the carp is supposed to mean strength and spirituality . . . maybe good luck? I hope we we will all have that for the next year.
