I was given a big bunch of bananas. We made banana fritters with it and still have some more left. So, I made a self-raising flour banana cake with those overripe bananas.

Ingredients:

3 medium overripe bananas (any type will do)
2 medium eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/3 cup fine sugar
1/2 vegetable oil/melted butter
1 1/2 cup self-raising flour

Instructions:

1. Peel and mash the banana.
2. Add eggs, salt, vanilla essence, fine sugar, and vegetable oil.
3. Mix until incorporated.
4. Fold in self-raising flour.
5. Pour into a lined/greased baking tray. I’m using a glass baking dish (approx. 10cmx17cmx4cm) instead of the usual baking tin. You can get something similar here: https://invl.io/clltm4c
6. Bake in a preheated oven at 160 degrees Celsius for 45 minutes. It’s cooked once the skewer comes out clean.
7. Cool on rack and serve. The texture is less crumbly after 24 hours.

Happy trying!

Before cooking the peach gum in a rice cooker, you have to prepare the peach gum and snow nest first. You’ll need to prepare them 8-12 hours before cooking.

For 1 or 2 pax consumption

7-10 pieces of peach gum
1 or 2 pieces of snow nest
5 pieces of snow lotus seeds
3-4 pieces seedless red dates (optional: cut into small pieces)
3-4 pieces dried longan (optional: cut into small pieces)
Brown sugar or rock sugar to taste

If you want to make a bigger batch, just multiply the above ingredients. Or just buy the soup pack that can feed at least 10 pax:

It’s my first time preparing snow swallow (also known as Gum Tragacanth / Snow Nest / Snow Bird’s Nest) to make collagen soup. I hope this video is useful to you.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE

For 1-2 person consumption, you just need 1 piece. It will expand! Don’t be too greedy! ONE IS ENOUGH! It will expand 30X or more!

How to clean?

1. Rinse it under running filtered or drinking water.
2. Soak in filtered or drinking water. Fill the bowl with water to the brim. Use a big bowl or container.
3. Soak it for 8-12 hours in the fridge or at room temperature. Best to keep it in the fridge if the weather is hot.
4. Once it’s ready, remove the visible impurities with a tweezer or your finger. Best to spread it on a flat surface. It will make your life easier, especially if it’s in big quantities.
5. Once it’s cleaned, pour it in the colander, run filtered/drinking water through it. Do it once or twice.
6. There you go! It’s ready to be cooked.
