The only reason why I'm going to steam them is I've seen a few videos and most of them show them steaming the rice cakes but never carmelization, and never in a wrapper. I'm going to try and make steamed rice cake, and them carmelize them, but I doubt very much that's what it is. You can see some of the kitchen and I saw them removing those from the oven. I know they Chinese Buffet where we go bakes them in the oven, and I think they might get them frozen, or fresh delivered and they either need to bake them or warm them up. So evidently when making these, they need to be eaten that day. By the time I got to the Store which was the next day, if I remember correctly the filling was almost gone, since it deflated so much. She didn't! Plus, I always wondered why they only put a few out at a time, because they deflate. I bought one to take home years back and was going to bring it to a Chinese store, which I did, to see if the woman who owned the store knew what it was. I love pineapple so I would have noticed. The one you see in the original post doesn't have any hint of pineapple in it at all. I think there's some leavening agent being used.Īt first, I called them egg custards, but our Chinese place has both - normal egg custard, served cold, and the texture is nothing like these.and they're served warm. These have well-distributed airy bubbles. I really don't think the bubbles come from whipping - if that were the case, the bubbles would rise to the top, and the top of the tart would be frothy, and the bottom would have no bubbles. They're also the taste of the pineapple, and these are more sweet than a normal egg custard. The caramelization is important - the fine bubble structure is another. If you Google for Egg Tart, you'll see thousands of the pastry ones, with very yellow filling and no caramelization. Most of the egg tarts that you can see on Google are in thick pastry cups, and the filling looks nothing like this. Yours looks a bit drier than ours, maybe. I don't think it's a New England thing, since we're in Ohio. And the hint of pineapple is a trait that some of us have noted. Hi, that looks very much like the ones we're talking about.
