Mua Chee

This little sweet sticky snack is called Kaloci in my hometown. I used to like watching the seller whipping up a big slab of cooked dough, dumping it on a piece big of tin full of chopped peanuts and then cutting the dough into small bite sizes pieces. I got this recipe from M4M (and scaled it down), with steaming method instead of boiling method of the dough.

Ingredients:
125 gm glutinous rice flour
200 ml water

Method:
Mix ingredients together to form mixture A
Grease a tray with about 4 tbsp of shallot oii (oil used to fry shallots)
Pour mixture A into the tray. Steam for about half hour (use chopstick to test for firmness when it's done). Cut out the muah chee when it's warm and roll the pieces onto the prepared sugar/peanut powder.
Ratio 1 sugar : 2 peanut powder
Or adjust the sweetness according to your taste.

Serves 2-3

Thanks for the recipe, this really brought me down memory lane. As a kid, I used to buy muah chee from a neighbour selling it AND eating it plain, without the peanuts! I've missed it so much and I'm going to make it too!
