Hi lianminyee, the syrup recipe is here: http://chowtimes.com/2006/03/22/brown-sugar-syrup/. If you like it gingery, add a knob of ginger, lightly smash to release flavour. If you like you syrup to be thicker, just boil until you get the preferred consistency.

Dear Suanne, I just emailed Ben before realizing you can post comments on this thing! I came upon your site while trying to find some “tong sui” recipes similiar to what my dad made when I was living at home in San Jose, CA – consisting of yams, rock sugar and ginger. Anyway, I saw this recipe and just have to try it! I’ve always ordered it when eating dim sum at chinese restaurants back in the day. I’ve since moved to Richmond, VA and the chinese cuisine is scarce. Anyway, hopefully I can find gypsum powder at the best stocked asian grocery around here (which isn’t saying much) but my real question… I couldn’t find your recipe for the syrup? Could you please email this to me? Keep up the good work!

I have never heard of gypsum being used as a food! I found out it is the white stuff in pills, and is a source of calcium in addition to binding puddings.

Hi Suanne,
Gong Xi Fa Cai to you and your family! After much searching I finally got my hands on some gypsum and tried this recipe. It was so good. This is the 5th recipe I’ve tried from your site and they’ve all been great hits at home. Thank you so much for sharing the recipes and the tips. They’ve really helped a beginner like me. :)
