Mainly due to health concerns and some cater to Muslim crowd as well. Using shallots add flavour to the dessert. I will give a rough idea how Teochews do this but I do not have the proportions. Granny and mom cook by feel and I have yet to master it.<br /><br />1. Cut pumpkin in chunks and cover with sugar (lots). Leave in the fridge overnight.<br /><br />2. Steam and mash yam through a sieve.<br /><br />3. Fry shallots with lard till turning crisp. Remove shallots. Low heat, fry mashed yam with sugar, stir constantly till paste-like. Do not let it caramelise.<br /><br />4. Cook pumpkin with the sugar with low heat till soft. Serve together with yam paste. The pumpkin will add moisture to the yam paste.<br /><br />Btw, I spotted a bottle of sauce for cooking 'water cooked fish'. Think it's possible to mail it to you?Reihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03443124468469903577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304437690959603870.post-76395024954470301002009-05-22T11:54:29.112+08:002009-05-22T11:54:29.112+08:00ganache: oh oh. u a teochew nang? is it eaten warm...ganache: oh oh. u a teochew nang? is it eaten warm? i eat it cold bc of the santan lol. about the gingko nuts, i've never known of ppl getting poisoned eating it. my mom always remove the plumule or 'heart' bc it's bitter but in the process of removing the nut comes apart. my MIL doesn't remove the plumule at all n i'm used to tt<br /><br />tealady: i read tt, n i know how computer withdrawal symtoms feel! my comp is still not running very well. so frustrating.<br /><br />anon:i guess the authentic version has to be eaten warm bc of the lard? the new version with santan is better cold i think, but then i'm not a teochew, so thanx for telling me:)<br /><br />rei: ok ok i hear u all :D : orh nee is eaten warm. but rei, when in sing, the version i ate is lighter n had gingko (see my link on the post) n it def didn't hav any pork oil or shallots. please enlighten me on this!terri@adailyobsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18027727551942336449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304437690959603870.post-77414473539725516982009-05-22T10:36:52.898+08:002009-05-22T10:36:52.898+08:00This is my favourite dish.

Tradtionally, it will be accompanied with pumpkin. Coconut milk and gingko nuts are not used. I haven't tried with Thailand yam yet but friends said it will yield a smoother texture.Reihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03443124468469903577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304437690959603870.post-6088047180248986382009-05-22T08:59:05.833+08:002009-05-22T08:59:05.833+08:00This dish is to be eaten warm by the Teochew clan....This dish is to be eaten warm by the Teochew clan. Your method of making orr nee is different. It's not the oil that makes the orr nee smooth, it's the blending. If you happens to visit Penang, do drop by a Teochew restaurant in Gurney Drive for their orr nee.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304437690959603870.post-39569781330360288082009-05-22T04:29:59.901+08:002009-05-22T04:29:59.901+08:00Hey, Terri.
