It’s that time of year again, to indulge in piping hot and boiling Hot Pot this Chinese New Year with the family.

Chinese New Year Hot Pot - Elevated with Anchor Extra Yield Cooking Cream

With the upcoming Chinese New Year festivity, Anchor Food Professionals has once again created inspirational recipes to encourage everyone to celebrate the occasion by elevating their dinner experience! Steamboat made better with Anchor.

So what’s this talk about this yummy cooking cream? For starters, Anchor Extra Yield Cooking Cream is made from fresh New Zealand cream that gives the ideal base in cooking. It requires no reduction, is heat-stable and produces no caking or drying. It retains a full, natural dairy flavour to create great pasta dishes easily and consistently.

Usually used for creamy pasta, cream soup and purees, Anchor Extra Yield Cooking Cream is great for local cuisines. It is acid stable and doesn’t split in sour, acidic (low pH) and spicy recipes, great for curry noodles and even local desserts such as ‘kuih’.

Adding some Anchor Extra Yield Cooking Cream into my boiling pot of pork bone broth really takes the taste up a notch. Dropping in the accompanied ingredients, we have a meal suit for a CNY dinner! Love how tasty everything turned out. In fact I was told Anchor Food Professionals even came up with a specially developed hot pot recipe using Anchor Extra Yield Cooking Cream as the key ingredient to elevate the soup base for a richer flavour.

“All you need is just add in Anchor Extra Yield Cooking Cream into your hot pot soup base in order to enjoy a different hot pot experience with family and loved ones at home! We recommend to add in 100 grams of Anchor Extra Yield Cooking Cream for every two litres of soup base, bring it up to simmer, check seasoning and it’s ready to cook your hot pot condiments. For those who would like it creamier, you may add more Anchor Extra Yield Cooking Cream too,” said Jack Tan, Fonterra Brands Malaysia’s Foodservice Director.
