This is the best tasting gau you will ever eat. All commercial gaus are just plain and bland. This gau that I make in the instant pot only takes 2 hours. Some people cook it for 30 minutes but that's because its a real small bowl/dish. So it's up to you! To see if the gau is done and if it's firm, poke it with a cake tester and if it comes out clean then its done. This recipe uses coconut milk and coconut to give it more texture and richness. Once you try this, you'll never go back any other recipe. This is a secret that I've been perfecting for over 40 years.

Thank you! I so appreciate your sharing your recipe! I hope to continue your delicious tradition! The old ways are being lost. 😞
I haven't had gau since I was a teenager and we moved away from Hawaii to California. So glad I found your channel so I can make it for my kids all the way out here in Columbia, Missouri :) Mahalo!
Great, I make it every year, the family loves it. My sister-in-law used to send it to nieces in the east coast. Sometimes it molds but they just cut it away.
Aloha, gonna try this again, this time will line the pot with 3 layers of ti leaves (I didn't follow instructions last time, what a mess) and mix up half of the batter to 3/4 to fill the container- wish me luck! Thanks again for the recipe!
update: So I didn't use ti leaves as mine were all muddy and I didn't want to wash them all so I used a sheet of parchment paper and it worked great - it didn't have the ti/banana leaf scent but it worked just fine, no leaks, nothing stuck and it released easily. It weighed 3lbs 15.6ozs...
I love Instant Pot recipes.
Me too!
Thank you Auntie Leonora!!
Thank you Leonora for this special recipe! I made it for my family and they all loved it! Thanks again from the Choy Ohana!
Thank you lenore for sharing your incredible dishes, I love them😁💖
I just made your recipe. I cut it in half but still there’s so much batter to cook! I am cooking one in the pot (using my stainless steel rice pot!) and one in the instant pot. Thank goodness I decided to watch this video. I forgot to cover the gau in the instant pot and sure enough when I ran over to put foil on it there was a puddle of water sitting on top!! I was able to take it off with paper towel and cover before it was ruined. 😅
Great job!
thanks sooo much for sharing this Secret recipe with all of us- I love coconut can’t wait to try it too😀
Hope you like it!
Great Recipe!
Hope you enjoy
Thx for the recipe
Most welcome 😊
Besides this being delicious, I learned what the sesame seeds and dates represents! Gung Hee Fat Choy.
Kung Hee Fat Choy. ! Truly a gift for our family to enjoy Thank you Thank you
You're very welcome.
Another EXCELLENT video! 😁
Thanks again!
I knew it!
Thank you so much for this recipe. As a Filipino, I love anything rice related desserts, especially with sweet rice flour, and this version is definitely faster than your 6 hour steam version. LOL, Don't worry, your secret is safe with me! I won't tell a soul. 😉
My pleasure 😊
Mahalo Popo Leonora, for the significance of the toasted sesame seeds and red date means or represent. Also for your perfect recipe secret share😘
I'm happy to see there's a faster way to make the gau. Do you also make the jin dui (I hope I've spelled it correctly)? What about almond float? Kung Hee Fat Choy!
I'm sorry 😔 that's one thing I have not mastered. Maybe one day I'll get it. Almond float is now on the list.
Happy Lunar New Year!
Same to you!
My wife, born and raised in Hawaii was wondering if you ever worked for Hawaiian Electric? There were several ladies that published recipes in the company’s cook book.
Never worked for Hawaiian Electric but I went to classes when they had them.
@@HawaiisPickleLady You mentioned you are now living in Las Vegas. My wife and I are hoping Zippy’s get started building there. We usually stay at the California Casino so we have access to Hawaiian food. Mahalo!
Happy new year.
Same to you
That looks so ono and you can cut the time down to 2 hrs Your recipe with Coconut milk reminds me of Bibinka
Thank you so much!!
You're welcome!
Ma'am Leonora I wonder if you can also demonstrate or show us the receipe how to make the chinese style pickled mustard greens. Usually I only buy it in some of the oriental store packed in sealed plastic bags, but comes in single pack only!😋😋😋
That recipe is on my website and also how to make the dish with pork and tomatoes. One of my family's favorite.
Thank you for sharing. Mahalo Much :)
Awesome channel!!!
Glad you enjoy it!
It looks good. Have you tried or do you think it can be made in a slow cooker?
Probably, try it and let me know. Making one this week. Family loves it. By the way, Chinese New Year is Sat, Feb 10.
I tried and it came out pretty good. I used a 7" diameter by 1 3/4" deep aluminum pan (couldn't find a deeper pan) and filled it to the inner lip. I put boiling water in the slow cooker, put the pan in and filled the water to the level of the batter. I let it cook on high for about 4 1/2 hours. I also wrapped the lid in an old T-shirt to create a better seal and to prevent any water from dripping into the gau. I also didn't have to add any water.
I also did one in a streamer and this one was a little soft on top because I didn't cover the gau and the condensation from the cover dropped into the gau. I had to spoon out the water and then covered it with foil. It was still edible.
I consider this a success as I've always wanted to make after watching and helping my mother for years many moons ago. The steaming method is more labor intensive as you have to keep checking the water level.
My next endeavor - making jai.
Kung hee fat choy! 🐲
i will try it in my instant pot do u cook it on high manual pressure for 2 hrs.? thank you for sharing your knowledge im learning a lot
Ours doesn't say high. We just set it on steam orp
Or use meat/stew
I have never tried this before, but love Mochi. Does it have a similar taste?
Yes, but richer and denser.
Gung Hee FAt ChOY !!!!!
Same to you.
How many OZ. is your Bowl for leaf lining/gau?
I measured 6c to the top but only fill3/4 of the way.
@@HawaiisPickleLady I meant What size in Oz. Is your bowl to place in I.P liner.
8oz x6= 48oz.
I made it. Too much water. 6 cups water too many. The whole thing was ruined. 😢
I just made it yesterday and after cooling, it was perfect to cut. Did you follow my exact recipe?
