Chinese are generally not too fond of sweets and hence the range of Chinese deserts are limited compared to some other cuisines. For many of us a dessert after dinner would be a nice end to a wonderful meal, but for Chinese people desserts are seldom part of any meal and they tend to opt for fruits if anything . Chinese desserts tend to be overtly sweet and they prefer eating it between meals rather than just after a meal.
Chilled desserts are not in vogue and many Chinese people don't prefer refrigerated meals. Also Chinese cakes are not baked in ovens generally but rather steamed.
Chinese food is often quickly cooked and chefs love to cook rice and noodle stir fries in minutes. Elaborate, time consuming desserts are perhaps not that appealing to a Chinese chef who just wants to make quick dishes.
Examples of Chinese Dessert Recipes
Almond tea used to be sold door to door in China and it was made by grinding almonds and raw rice by hand. Today this treat is made with almond paste and rice flour. Adding gelatin or agar agar to this tea results in almond junket, which is the closest Chinese equivalent to western jello recipes. Almond tea is extremely sweet.
Peking dust is one more popular dessert in China and this mix of whipped cream and chestnuts is thought to have been created by western settlers in the beginning of the 20th century. Precious pudding is a sweet rice pudding with dates, maraschino cherries and some colorful fruits. Every fruit is thought to symbolize a precious stone such as emerald or ruby.
Tropical fruits are common in China and you could choose from mandarin oranges, lychees, mangoes and more. Serve fresh fruit marinated in alcohol or steam it in honey syrup. You could also prepare banana or pineapple fritters and serve them with ice cream.
How to Combine Jello with Chinese Desserts
Jello is well-liked throughout the world and you could combine China's delicious fresh fruits with jello to make scrumptious desserts. What about adding lychees or rambutan to your favorite jello? Mandarin segments and banana slices are well loved in jello recipes but adding exotic fruits would add a special touch, especially if you plan to serve the jello recipe after an Asian dinner.
If you're concerned about your weight, you could always follow dinner with some China tea, maybe jasmine tea or green tea, and a bowl of sugar free jello. Add some tropical fruits or only leave it plain. This gives you sufficient sweetness to please your sweet tooth and is a fat free and almost calorie free dessert. You can add artificial sweetener to the tea, or maybe a little honey. - 24553
