Thong Yod


I like to eat the Thai dessert very much especially Thong Yod. I like sweet and like to smell it. It is also served in a traditional Thai wedding and it is popular Thai dessert in many country around the world.

INGREDIENTS:
  • 15 egg yolks
  • 10 tbsp. Thong Yod flour (wheat and rice flour mixture)
Ingredients of Syrup:
  • 10 measuring cups castor sugar
  • 6 measuring cups fresh water
Ingredients of Light Syrup:
  • 1 measuring cups castor sugar
  • 1 measuring cups fresh water
Preparation:
  • Separate the yolks from white eggs.
  • Strain though muslin. Squeeze.
  • Blend until thick and fluffy for 15 minutes.
  • Ladle the mixture in the cup. Add 4 tbsp. of flour.
  • Mix well.
  • Drop the mixture in boiling syrup.
  • Increase heat.
How to drop the mixture:
  • The drop shape is formed by dropping the thick mixture from the tip of a finger into hot bubbling heavy syrup.
  • The drops are then removed into still, cooled lighter syr up after cooking.
Good characteristics:
  • Glossy and delicacy surface.
  • Both outer and inner of Thong Yod should be soft.
  • Not stench.

  1. i did it once. but it didnt taste good. are you sure about this recipe? if i may ask you some questions i have in doubt.. firstly, for a person like me who just want to try it for the first time, how should i reduce this recipe to only 5 egg yolks?? how about the other ingredients such as flour?? how many flour do i have to use overall? and for every cup of blended yolks, how many of tbsp of flour do i have to put in so that the thong yod will become just suitably soft to eat?
    it just that my thong yod is so hard, not soft to eat. :((
    however, thanks for reading my comment and hope you'll reply it. ^_^
