Steam

Steaming is such an underrated technique when it comes to sweets and desserts. And this classic Cantonese cake perfecty encapsulates the power of steaming. It's surprising in more ways than one - there's that soft chewiness, which gives way to a delightful sweetness, followed by a bit of tang from the yeast. It really flips the Western definition of cake, and I hope it rocks your world like it did mine.
