hello, I'm looking for a recipe to make sweet chilli sauce
manufactured by Kam Cheung, a product of Thailand. The listed
ingredients are: Sugar, Water, Chilli, Garlic, Vinegar, Tomato
Paste, Modified Corn Starch, Salt
Thanks for your help. I found this on a trip to chinatown in
Chicago and I can't drive 3 hrs to purchase more.
Pat
Hello Pat,
There are several places on the Internet that sell Thai sweet chili sauce.
However, I cannot find any mention of the brand "Kam Cheung" at all,
either for sale or a copycat recipe. There are other brands for sale, though.
Below are two recipes for homemade Thai sweet chili sauce. I cannot say
whether either one is similar to the Kam Cheung. The first recipe, though,
is very popular.

Subject: Old Fashioned Sour Milk Cake Receipe
When I was a Child (in the 50's) my Grandmother (German background)
used to make a sour milk cake for me. It was very heavy, like a
pound cake. It didn't have any frosting. It was made in a shallow
Angel Food cake type pan with a hole in the middle. I have been
trying to find out for years about this. She did not have anything
written down about it. It kind of reminds me of a carrot cake, very
heavy and moist.
Thanks for anything you can assist with.
Dan
Hello Dan,
There are a lot of recipes with the name "sour milk cake," but they're pretty
much the same. All of the ones that I found were variations of the two below.

I have this recipe - could it be similar to the one that was wanted by 'Amethyst'?
Torta di Tagliatelle -- Tagliatelle Pie
3 1/3 cups extra fine unbleached flour
3 ounces almonds
3 ounces bitter almonds (if you cannot find these use regular almonds,
and the nutmeats from 2-3 peach pits if you have them)
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup less 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 or 2 shots of sweet moderately strong liqueur, for example Alkermes
or Sassolino (not sure what this is; A. is bittersweet-spicy and deep red)
6 yolks
A healthy pinch salt
Butter and a little flour for the cake pan.
Make a mound on your work surface with 3 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and
a pinch of salt. Mix the ingredients and scoop a hole in the center so
as to form a well; drop the yolks into it and make a dough, which should
be slightly softer than normal pasta dough by the time you've finished
kneading it. If need be, add a little liqueur to provide more moisture.
Roll it out, though not excessively thin (not dine thin, but a little
thinner than 1/8 of an inch, I'd say) and let it dry a bit.
In the meantime, peel the almonds, mince them finely (if you use a blender
use short bursts, checking often, lest the almonds liquefy and give off
their oils). Brown them lightly in the oven, remove them, and mix them
with the remaining sugar.
Butter and flour a high-sided, 9-inch diameter pan, and heat your oven to
400 F (200 C). Cut a disk from the sheet of pasta that's large enough to
line the pan. Dust the remainder of the sheet with just a hint of flour,
roll it up, and slice it into 1/8 of an inch (2 mm) slices, and unroll
them to make the tagliatelle.
Sprinkle the pasta sheet in the pan with some of the sugar-and-almond
mixture. Then lay down a layer of the tagliatelle, sprinkle with more
of the sugar-almond mixture, and repeat the process until all is used
up. Drizzle the cake with the liqueur and dot it with the butter. Slip
the cake into the oven, reduce the heat to 360 F (180 C) and bake for
45 minutes. Serve when it has cooled.

I don't know if that's it, but I'll sure send it to her. Thanks, Karlin!
