That looks so good. I love it when it's stuffed with water chestnuts. The restaurants now cut down the amount they put in now. Excellent presentation and can't wait to try it. 😋

Thank you!!☺️it’s a bummer that restaurants are skimping out bc it’s totally not the same without them. The crunch & fresh-ness they add is what makes it so enjoyable 😄

How many grams are 2 sticks of brown sugar slabs?

[@SikfanKitchen]

2 slabs but you add more if you like sweeter

Perfectly put together video. Tried but cake not firm, even after leaving it in the fridge for one night. Why?

[@SikfanKitchen]

Thank you! The mixture might have not been thick enough before placing in the container. When you mix the chestnut flour liquid into the sugar water, make sure the heat is off. And mix it in slowly in three parts. For the first part, mix it well until it’s thick before adding the remaining mixture. Also, make mix in “one” direction only vs switching between clockwise and counter-wise. Hope this helps!

I'll try and let you know the outcome. Thanks.
