Recipe Share: Nian Gao - Chinese New Year Cake

Happy Chinese New Year All!

Sharing my adapted recipe for the Chinese New Year cake - Nian Gao. 

Fresh gooey Nian Gao

Nian Gao Recipe

Ingredients:

• 250ml Water
• 250g Brown Sugar Pieces (pean tong)
• 80ml of Coconut Cream
• 30g Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 200g Glutinous rice Flour
• 70g Wheat Starch (optional)
• 1 Red Date (optional)

Required:

• Large pot for steaming
• Bread tin
• Skewers

Method:

1. Boil the water in a small pot,

2. Add sugar to the boiling water,

3. After the sugar has melted, add coconut cream and oil,

Work on the next part while letting the liquid cool down for 10-15 minutes,

4. Grease the tin with a bit of oil,

5. Boil a kettle of water and prepare the steamer,

6. Sift the flour & starch twice,

7. Add the liquid to flour mixture, pouring in a little bit at a time while mixing,

8. Strain the mixture 3 times,

9. Pour the mixture into the tin,

10. Optional: Place one red date (jujube) in the center, on top of the mixture,

Ready for hot steaming!

11. Cover the tin with a plate or tin foil to stop droplets from getting into the mixture,

12. Steam on high heat for 75 mins. Watch the water level, add water as necessary,

13. Poke the centre with a skewer, if it pulls out clean then it's ready,

14. Separate the cake from the tin and tip out onto tin foil,

A tasty 'Gold Block' of Nian Gao

15. Immediately cut up a large slice per person. Skewer and serve while it is fresh, hot and gooey. I eat it like this on the first day. Then I prepare it as per below the rest of the days ^_^

Skewer & eat :)

16. Let the rest cool, then wrap up and place in the fridge overnight.

To Serve:

• 1 Egg
• Pinch of Salt

This is how the cake is normally served.

1. Crack an egg into a bowl,
2. Add a pinch of salt and beat well,
3. Cut the cake into 1cm slices (2-4 slices per person),
4. Heat up pan on medium-low setting,
5. Coat each slice in egg and fry,
6. Cook for a few minutes on each side till golden brown,
7. Serve, eat & enjoy!

Crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside

Tasty eating!

Notes: 

• Peanut or vegetable oil is normally used, but Extra Virgin Olive oil is much healthier and gives it a lovely flavour and aroma.
• Coconut cream is not necessary, but it gives a wonderful creamy texture.
• Traditionally a round tin is used, but using a bread tin makes it easier to cut even slices. 
• Nian gao is normally eaten after it has hardened, but is it so good fresh off the steamer. A delicious opportunity not to be missed! 
• When you cut the first slices while hot, it may squish the cake down slightly. Wrap the tin foil up around the sides and use your hands to squish it back up.
• Cake can be kept in the fridge for several months. Make sure to cover well.

Isn't the internet a great thing? Now you have easy access to just about any recipe under the moon. This is especially great for those of us who have emigrated abroad. I often crave certain Hong Kong foods, but can't get them fresh in Ireland. The internet has made it possible for me to make the food myself. The best part is, you often find a variety of recipes for the same dish, allowing you to figure out how to tweak to make it just the way you prefer.

I first come upon this recipe through Her.ie who shared a video from food4444lyfe.

Guilt Free Logic #1: Ice Cream Diet

The Ice Cream Diet by Shen

A strong believer in happy and positive thinking, I have developed many logics over the years to help me lead a guilt-free and happier life. One logic that I have come up with is; eating ice cream can help you lose weight. The more you eat, the slimmer you will be!

Logic

Eating frozen food lowers your core body temperature. To bring your core back up to the optimal temperature, your body has to burn calories. This is the key to the diet! 

Be careful though, if you eat only a little bit of ice cream, it may not work as your core temperature could remain the same. So you need to eat a lot of ice cream for this to work, a full tub of 500ml ice cream should be sufficient. No need to feel guilty the next time you eat ice cream, you can tell people that you're on the ice cream diet and explain the science to them.

Disclaimer:

These are just fun thoughts for sharing. Scientific research has not been conducted to prove the viability of the Ice Cream Diet.

Fashion Review: Michael Kors Watch

Shen's Michael Kors Watch

For my birthday today, my wonderful husband Ger, got me a fabulous Michael Kors (MK) watch. I have been hankering after one of these fashion statement  pieces for a while now, so I was absolutely over the moon to get one as a present.

While the rose gold version is the one MK is known for, I am chuffed that Ger get me something different, yet in a recognisable MK. I am loving the white ceramic band and gold glitz watch face.

My Michael Kors watch on.

What I love

• Works as a watch!
  It has always bothered me that many watches for women only have the hourly notches with short minute hands. With those watches, it's not easy for me to accurately see the time.
• Date display
  Now you will always know the date, no more confusion.
• Stop watch function
  What more can you ask for?
• Super stylish
  This watch is a fashion statement itself and will style up any outfit!
• Dainty feel
  The big chunky face and band makes your hands and wrist look dainty and small. Love it!

Dislikes

• Weight
  The watch is a bit heavy, but this is to be expected due to it's size and ceramic band. To be honest, this does not bother me. Don't let this put you off as the weight is more a sign of quality! Hm... maybe I should put this in the 'What I Love' section?

Overall, this is a fantastic watch that I love and would recommend to anyone. Arnotts and Fields have a good selection of MK watches, so if you are looking to get one, should probably check them out.

Irish Product Review: Felt by Sheena - Handmade Soap

Felt by Sheena Soap

As someone with a cute and delightful dash of OCD, I LOVE my cleansing products. It's something that gets me really excited in an adorable way, although some people misconstrue this as being weird. Imagine my delight when I got my hands on a Felt by Sheena soap which according to the Irish entrepreneur is your antibacterial washcloth and soap all in one!

Stunning Colors

Upon opening the wrapping, the first thing that hit me was the stunning and vibrant colors of the felt wool enveloping this soap. An exciting mix of yellow, red and deep pink encase a deliciously sweet scent of 'Rhubarb & Custard'. Similar to how a young child can't wait to play with their new toy on Christmas day, I couldn't wait to jump into the shower to try my Felt by Sheena soap!

Having tried the soap, I was not disappointed. The felt gently exfoliated my skin, leaving it feeling extra clean. Surprisingly it did not dry out my skin at all. According to Sheena Walsh, the Irish entrepreneur who hand makes this, it is the glycerin base which is high in moisture and kind to the skin that prevents that dried out feeling that you typically get with soap. 

An added bonus is that the felt casing not only removes scum residue but it also eliminates that 'icky and gooey' wet soap feel.

 I would highly recommend this product as not only is it great for gently cleansing your skin, but it also smells wonderful during and post shower. 

Competition Time!!!

Win a delicious Rhubarb & Custard felted soap by Sheena.
Many other great prizes to be won, worth €170!

Swarovski Design Winner!

Back in October I entered a jewellery design competition hosted by Swarovski. The theme for the design was halloween. My most popular product is my crystal ball pendant necklace, so I decided to base the design on a spooky crystal ball pumpkin.

The first design I came up looked a bit like a toy as it was too detailed. So I had to revised the design and come up with something a little more simple.

First Design

My second design looked much better, so I submitted my entry to Swarovski. Turns out I was right as I am a winner! While I did not make first place, my design was still selected to win a prize.

Final Competition Entry

A box of goodies from Swarovski arrived for me yesterday and I just had to share the great news. Swarovski sent me eight beautiful packages of their finest crystals. I can't wait to use them to make something amazing!

Interviewed by Her.ie

Irish Women In Business: Shen Wong Jewellery

Recently I was featured by popular Irish women website, Her.ie. They interviewed me for their section on Irish Women in Business. It was such a buzz to be contacted by such a huge well known website in Ireland.

This interview was quite different to the ones I have done before with Clothes.ie or on air as there was a real focus on my career background and the fashion industry. A very fun meeting all in all!

After I posted about my interview on Facebook, I got a huge response from my fanbase offering supportive and kind words. It always lovely to see the support out there for me. I am spoiled with love! :)

Live Interview: On the Radio

1st Radio Interview - Friday 15th November

I was recently invited by Upstarts for a 30 minute interview on Dublin City FM. It was one of the most exciting tasks I have done in my career!

Nervous smile

You can hear my voice shaking as I have never been one to enjoy public speaking, but Kelly and Andy from Upstarts were fantastic at keeping the conversation going and making me feel as relaxed as possible.

Now I'm talking!

Once I got talking, there was no stopping me. I actually had so much fun on the show, I would love to go back on again. There is such a rush from it! Anyone looking for radio interviewees?

Looking coy.

You can listen to the podcast for my interview below. It's quite funny and light hearted. Find out about my title of Miss beautiful baby of Drogheda 1982, how I got started in my business and some of the wonderful people that helped me along the way.

Cute Label Alert: Dresses by Jones + Jones

Recently I discovered my new love at a sale rack in TopShop. I love going through sale items, it's the best way to try something new as I will buy anything if it is discounted enough! I am a real bargain queen.

Flicking through the sale rail I discovered several dresses by Jones + Jones. These really caught my eye as they were so cute and feminine. From what I tell after a bit of research on their website, most of their dresses have a net underskirt, giving their dresses a fun and flirty feel.

Feeling rather angelic in my white dress

The dresses are fitted on top, while the skirt 'puffs' out. I felt like a princess walking around with the light skirt swishing around my thighs. 

Feeling petite & girly

  

These dresses look best when teamed with a pair of high heels. They are made to be dramatic!

Before you buy too many, beware! These sweeties take up a lot of room! The underskirt probably takes up about the same space as five normal dresses (I bought four!). I had to move a few things out of my wardrobe to fit them in. I did first try to convince my husband to bin some of his clothes, but he rejected my suggestion *sigh*.

I wish I could have a separate wardrobe just for these dresses as they have an amazing sale on now!

3 Steps To Getting Financial Support

Many people may be put off setting up their own business due to tight finances. But with some savings and a bit of financial support from the government, your dreams can be within reach!

How I got financial support:

1. Applied for the Back To Work Enterprise Allowance,
2. Prepared a detailed business plan,
3. Applied for the Short-Term Enterprise Allowance with the Tolka Partnership.

          Weekly allowance approved!

After I left my job, I knew that I wanted to set up my own business. This will be a slow process as there is a lot of set up work and I will not be bringing in much money within the first couple of months.

To overcome the lack of income in the early stages of my set-up, I applied for the Back To Work Enterprise Allowance (BTWEA) otherwise known as the dole or scratcher. This is a fund for people who are unemployed. Until I've created business viable products, I considered myself to be an unemployed person pursuing on a VERY expensive hobby/idea. On that basis, it is fair for me to avail of this fund.

Recently I completed my online shop set up on Etsy, and made some sales, so it was no longer fair for me to be on an unemployment allowance. I have since successfully applied for the Short-Term Enterprise Allowance (STEA). This pays the same as the BTWEA and for the same nine month period, but rather than coming out of a pot for unemployed people, it is for start up entrepreneurs. 

Benefits of STEA over BTWEA

• Money is paid straight into your bank account.
• No need to sign-in anymore at the unemployment office.
• No need to attend meetings with case worker.

Note: You cannot get the STEA grant if you are registered as a sole trader.

The resources I mentioned are only available in Ireland. But there should be support in most countries. Remember, Google is your best friend for information!

Resources

Read more about Irish government support and process > here.

Application for STEA form > here.

How to apply for STEA:

- If you live in an area covered by a local development company (xls) (LDC), apply to the Enterprise Officer.

- If you do not live in an LDC area, apply to the Jobs Facilitator in your social welfare local office.

Say 'Yes' to Gay Marriage!

Love is all you need for marriage!

Recently I posted my thoughts on gay marriage to a Facebook thread and it got quite a response. It is a topic that I feel so strongly about, I just had to write a post on it.

While some people describe marriage as just a piece of paper, it does not take away from the fact that it holds a lot of emotional importance to certain people. Whatever the significance or meaning that marriage holds for people in general, it is not the point of discussion. The point is, couples should not be discriminated against because of their gender.

Here I am going to tackle the two main arguments against gay marriage:

1. Gay marriage is unnatural
It is unnatural based on two people of the same gender not being able to conceive. This argument really makes my blood boil! Many couples cannot conceive, does this mean that they are unnatural and should not be allowed to marry? I find this argument to be highly insensitive, insulting and downright cruel! When I argue this point, it has come back to me that some 'normal' couples can't conceive 'because of an impediment to their normal potential to do so'. Thank you Einstein for explaining that so eloquently!





2. Being gay is against my religion
I think the below picture explains it best. If you believe that gay marriage is against your own beliefs due to religion or whatever, then you don't do it. But you cannot impose your own morals onto others.

In my opinion, many people that are against gay marriage are just so darn miserable that they create whatever rules there are to happiness so that few others can fit into these false criteria, then that way they will have a 'right' to condemn them! By doing so, these people can make others miserable with them. Proof that misery does in fact love company.

My belief is that any natural couple drawn together by love, regardless of gender should be allowed to marry. While in Ireland we have to wait until 2015 before we have a referendum for gay marriage, we are moving in the right direction. Despite the long wait, I am glad that we are moving progressively. Now let's wait for the rest of the world to follow suit!

I'm proud to say that the opinions voiced in this post are not only those of my own personal views, but also those of my business, Shen Wong Jewellery. I am not afraid of losing business from those that oppose gay marriage!

If you send out mean and negative vibes, it will all come back to you. In the end you are the one that is going to be miserable by being bitter. Be happy for others and you will be a happier person.

Interview with Clothes.ie

My First Interview!


















This month I was invited to my first interview as Shen Wong Jewellery with Clothes.ie. This is very exciting as Clothes.ie are a Fashion website in Ireland that are really starting to take off!


How I Did It!

I simply reached out and tweeted Clothes.ie that I would like to feature on their website. To sweeten the deal I offered them an item from my product line for their readers as a competition prize. They responded positively and arranged the interview within a month.

If you are in a similar startup situation, I would advise you to start small and contact new or small fashion sites and bloggers to feature your products. It will help you gain a bit of experience and exposure before you move up to the likes of Vogue or So Sue Me!

Tip: Always ensure that the interviewer includes a link to your website and social media pages. Not only can it increase sales opportunities and connections, but it can improve your Google search rankings.

I hope you found this post helpful. Please leave a comment to share your thoughts and ideas.

How to Win an Award - Then brag about it!

How to Win an Award in 3 Steps

Step 1: Be in to Win!

Find a competition in your field/industry/business that you feel is worth entering. Most importantly, one that you feel there may be a chance of winning. 

For me, as a new start-up business based in Dublin, Ireland I wanted to establish myself as a reliable business. At this launch stage I don't have the results yet to prove myself for a national award, nor do I have the fan base for a big support. So I opted for a local business competition that no one really knew nothing about, Key To The City. 

Key to the City is a competition for Dublin businesses. Winners are the top three businesses with the most votes via a Facebook app. This sounds like a competition that I can win as initially there were only 40 entries, plus the business at the third of the league only had 170 votes. I know that if I put in the work, I stand a real chance of beating this. 

Step 2: Spread The Word

Promote your entry. Even though you are only at the nomination stage, share it across all social media. Fans want to hear about your business. Plus, they want to know how well you are doing.

If you entered an online voting competition, then this is the perfect opportunity to spread the word about your business to everyone, while asking for votes!

How I asked shamelessly asked for votes:

- Post on my Facebook business page

- Post on my Facebook profile

- Called all my friends to ask them for support & to vote for me

- Emailed EVERYONE on my email address book

- Messaged individually every Facebook friend

- Post on Google+ page

- Join & post on Google+ communities

- Post on Twitter

- Post on Twitter & tag community pages when close to winning

- Ask all families & families of friends

- Post on forums

- Post on LinkedIn

- Message everyone on LinkedIn

- Post on community forums (Etsy where I sell have their own forum)

- Join & post on relevant Facebook communities

- Join & post on communities for all educational institutes attended

- Invest in Google Adwords to promote

- Invest in Facebook Advertising

- Write a blog about it!

I also asked everyone I met. There is no limit as to who you can canvas votes from. You just need thick skin.

While conversion rates for votes can be low, when you do everything, it all adds up. Plus every time you mention your business, you are spreading the word about your brand. This is particularly good, if you are looking to sell internationally. I would really only do this at the early stages of the business, you want to be careful not to cheapen your brand. I wouldn't canvas this way regularly either, it will get very annoying!

TIP: When asking for votes, make sure to provide a motivation for the public. For my competition, the organizers are offering a €100 shopping voucher for all voters. I lead with this when I am doing a generic post on my Social Media walls. If there is no prize, then maybe you can offer a prize of your product/services.

Step 3: Brag About It

If you picked the right competition and put in the hard work, hopefully you will come out on top. Even if you don't get the award, you can still be a 'winner'. I intend to promote my result even if I'm just in the top 10 - 'Top 10 business nominated for...'. If I do win, I will be incorporating the words 'Winner of The Key To the City Award 2013' to my marketing materials, both digital and print! 

Of course I will also be entering jewellery making competitions as that is the industry that I am in. I have entered two so far, hopefully I will win one soon!

Aside from the honor of winning an award, there are also other benefits.

Benefits of Award Nomination:

- Improve your credibility to customers & investors,

- Improved brand awareness (to voters & other nominees),

- If your business fails, an award or good result will look on your CV, 

- Can improve your website search results as the host should include a link to your page on their website.

I hope you found this post useful. Do you have any suggestions on winning awards or gaining votes? Please do leave a comment as I would love to hear your thoughts.

Endorsement is Important - Online Startups

To all start ups I would advise you to seek endorsement where ever you can. It will make your new business look more official and reliable to potential customers. This is especially true for a start up business based solely online.

By endorsement, I mean joining an organisation that promotes your business. As a jewellery maker, I am in the crafting industry. Recently, I have been accepted as an Associate Member of the Crafts Council of Ireland. Just to be clear, this is an organisation formed to promote skilled craftsmanship, it is not a gathering of witches (yes, I had to explain this to a friend!). 

Needless to say, I am delighted with my membership. I had to submit a detailed application which then had to be assessed by a panel that only meets a limited number of times a year. This endorsement is a big deal to me. On top of obtaining a greater sense of pride for my work due to official recognition, there are also many practical benefits.

Benefits of Endorsements

• Improved SEO - Membership/Endorsement may include a bio about your business and a link to your website. If the organisation has a good website then they may rate highly with Google and a link from them to your site should improve your page ranking.

• Trust - Even if your potential customer has not heard of the organisation that 'endorsed' your business, it can help develop trust and faith in your company.

• Increased Awareness - By featuring on another page or becoming a member of an organisation, more people will immediately know about your business (even if it is just a handful, depending on the organisation).

• Learn from others -  By joining a good and relevant organisation, you should gain access to information that will be beneficial to helping your business specifically. 

• Support - You will be connecting with like minded people in similar situations, you never know, you might meet someone who can help and support you.

I hope you found this post helpful. If you are in the crafting industry based in Ireland, I would highly recommend you join the Crafts Council of Ireland. You will receive much useful information. www.ccoi.ie/

7 Questions to Ask Before Quitting Your Job

The 7 Questions...
...I asked myself before I quit my job to set up my own business

This month I finally took the plunge and quit my day job so that I can focus 100% on launching my jewellery business.

Before I came to the decision of leaving my full time job, I had to ask myself 7 questions:

1. Have I stayed motivated in developing this business for at least 3 months?
2. Do others believe that I have the skills, and does the market has the need for my business?
3. Has at least 3 people purchased something from me?
4. Can I sustain 4 months without a salary and still pay my mortgage?
5. If the business failed to take off, will I be able to find a job within 4-6 months?
6. Will I regret it if I don't take this chance?
7. Will I be a happier person if I pursue this business?

After I confidently answered 'Yes' to all these questions, I knew that it was the right decision.

The most important question to me was number 7. To me happiness is the most important consideration as there are ways to work around everything else.

Is there anything you would add to this list?
