Or Nee

The recipe for Or Nee- a traditional Teochew dish is really very simple. Or Nee is a calarie filled, sweet dish that gives complete satisfaction. Eat and grow fat mentality people will enjoy this dish. With loads of ginko nuts to complement the dish, you are supposed to be grow more intelligent after consuming this food.

Just now, after following an online blog to bake a Yam Cheesecake, I found quite a bit of steamed yam left behind. Frankly the prospect of eating the Or Nee is more exciting than eating the cheesecake. But I must admit, I enjoyed the process of making the cheesecake than making the Or Nee is quite an idiot proof process.

Yam- steam, mashed.
Oil
Sugar
1 tbsp coconut milk (optional)

Using the neoflam pan, just add a generous dash of oil.
Put the yam in and fry gently.
Add more oil, sugar and continue to stir it.
A distinct bicep is a by product of cooking this dish.

Err.. what are the measurements of this dish? It is simple up to the person.
Generous amount of oil to achieve the gooey effect, sugar to make you high.
Just taste as you stir along. When you get the right taste, add in the coconut milk, stir for one or two more mins and you can stop.

Cook ginko nuts with sugar. Just buy a vacuum pack of ginko nuts, pour the amount you want into a pot, add a tbsp or two of sugar. Cook under low fire for 15 mins. No water is needed.
Add gingko nuts on top of O Nee and enjoy- Teochew enjoyment .
