Muah Chee

Brings back so much childhood memories.

I thought muah chee is a real toughie thing to make. Only now then I realise, it's a piece of cake really. Thus I shan't yak too much here. Let's get down to making it.

Here's what you'd need:

200gm Glutinous rice flour
250gm water
2 tsp granulated sugar
Shallot oil / cooking oil

Ground peanuts
Sugar
(ratio of peanuts : sugar is 2:1)

This is what I did:

1. Mix flour and sugar together with water. Stir and mix till there is no lumps.

2. Steam for 15-20mins till cooked. Test the centre with toothpick to be sure it's cooked through. Remove from steamer and brush some shallot oil / cooking oil on it. Let it cool completely.

3. In the meantime, prepare the peanut powder. Mix peanut powder with sugar. Taste and adjust sugar accordingly to taste.

4. When ready to serve, scoop small piece of muah chee with a fork and cut them in the peanut powder mixture. Serve.

Psst psst... To store, keep the leftover (uncut) muah chee tightly in a container (or wrap a clingwrap tightly over the steam pan) in the fridge. Bring to room temperature before cutting and tossing in peanut powder mixture. I find it doesn't keep well beyond two days, one day is the max it should go.
