In the Philippines, an entire steamed cake is given as a gift for the Lunar New Year to symbolize prosperity and good luck. We cooked the Tikoy by pan-frying to soften it up. Once pan fried, each warm slice was crisp on the outside while sticky soft inside. The yellow coating of the eggs are close in color to 'gold', a symbol of prosperity. The chewy, gummy consistency of the tikoy rice cake are supposed to make sure the luck 'sticks'. ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/tikoy-must-have-in-the-year-of-the-rabbit-2011/feed/ 7 244 https://thequirinokitchen.com/chinese-beef-with-jersey-tomatoes/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/chinese-beef-with-jersey-tomatoes/#comments Sun, 07 Jul 2013 03:00:00 +0000 http://asianinamericamag.com/?p=3820 I’ve been told I’m lucky I can enjoy Jersey tomatoes every summer.
