Recipes with sugar

Soft, fluffy steamed buns with a beautiful “thousand-layer” look and a deeply nutty black sesame filling. Made with black sesame paste and black sesame powder, sweetened with sugar and honey, they’re fragrant, gently sweet, and wonderfully comforting served warm.
Thai Style Hot and Sour Squid is a bright, punchy dish of squid rings briefly blanched, cooled, and dressed in a fragrant chilli-herb sauce. The dressing is blended from green and red chillies, onion, coriander roots, mint leaves, and garlic, then balanced with soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, salt, sugar, and half a lime’s juice—finished with sliced lemon poured over the squid for a fresh, citrusy lift.
This Coconut Palm Sugar Pudding is a smooth harmony that pampers the tongue. The savory aroma of coconut milk combines with the deep sweetness of brown sugar, creating a warm and soothing taste. The texture is smooth, soft, and melts easily in the mouth, bringing a touch of tradition with a modern elegance. Each slice exudes a natural fragrance and a refreshing tropical flavor, perfect enjoyed chilled as a dinner dessert or as a relaxing afternoon companion.
Fluffy Sweet Potato Cheese Bread is a soft, enriched bread that hides a creamy sweet-potato filling and a generous layer of mozzarella in the centre. The dough is made with bread flour, egg, warm milk, yeast, sugar, salt, and melted unsalted butter for a tender, pillowy crumb. Inside, mashed sweet potatoes are seasoned with a pinch of salt and black pepper, then loosened with milk for a smoother, creamier texture before being spread into the middle and topped with mozzarella.
Tamagoyaki is a soft, layered Japanese-style omelette made by rolling thin sheets of egg into a neat, sliceable log. This version mixes eggs with milk, a touch of salt and sugar, then adds shredded crab sticks and optional cheese for extra richness—perfect cut into bite-size pieces or served over rice.
Cheesy Beef Potato Bowl turns cooked potatoes into cozy “potato bowls,” filled with a savory ground-beef mixture (egg, shallots, garlic, salt, sugar, and black pepper), topped with mozzarella, then baked until hot and melty—finished with a sprinkle of green onions for a fresh bite.
Imagine a slice of cake with a warm golden glow, its sweet aroma wafting through, tempting the senses even before a bite. Each slice exudes the richness of brown sugar, blending gently with the savory coconut milk, creating a rich and enticing layer of flavor. The texture is comforting: when lightly pressed, it feels dense yet chewy—as if holding the nostalgic warmth of home. Layers of pandan and a light coconut milk blend together, creating a harmonious balance of sweet and creamy, with a touch of unforgettable natural aroma. This simple dish pairs perfectly with a cup of warm tea on a romantic afternoon—Red Sugar Wajik Cake is more than just a snack, it's a memory to cherish.
Vegetarian Unagi transforms aubergine into a glossy, savory-sweet “eel-style” topping: the aubergine is steamed until soft, lightly pan-fried until browned, then coated in a thickened sauce made with soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rice wine, oyster sauce, honey, sugar, salt, and a little water—served over rice.
Miyeokguk (Korean Beef Seaweed Soup) is a warm, savory bowl built on tender sliced beef and silky seaweed, gently stir-fried in sesame oil before simmering into a clean, comforting broth. Finished with garlic, soy sauce, sugar, and a simple green-onion garnish, it’s a classic, nourishing soup that tastes both light and deeply satisfying.
