Ang Ku Kueh - D.I.Y.

Share with you all the receipe I get from internet ;)

Ingredients for skin:
300g glutinous rice flour
150g sweet potatoes
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp corn oil
250-300ml warm water
1/8 tsp orange red colouring
Banana leaves cut to small circles

Peanut Filling:
300g ground, roasted peanuts
150g caster sugar
some boiled water

Method for filling:
1. Mix ground peanuts with sugar and add in some water to make into a paste form. Shape into small round balls of filling for dough.

Method for skin:
1. Steam cut sweet potatoes for 10-15 minutes till cooked and soft. Mash through a wire sieve and set aside.

2. Sieve glutinous rice flour into a mixing bowl. Make a hole in centre of flour and add the sugar, mashed sweet potatoes and corn oil. Add the coloured water a little at a time and mix and knead well until the colouring is even and dough is pliable. If dough is too dry, add a little more water. Knead till dough does not stick to the hands adding more oil if necessary. Let dough rest for 20-30 minutes.

3. Divide dough into equal portions to fit mould and roll each into a round ball. Flatten each ball of dough slightly and add a small ball of filling. Pinch and seal the edges to enclose the filling.

4. Spread some oil over the dough and press into a kueh ku mould. Knock mould lightly to dislodge kueh and place on a piece of banana leaf .

5. Place all the kueh ku in a steamer and steam on high heat for 5 minutes. Remove lid from steamer to let out excess steam. Cover and continue steaming for another 5 minutes.

6. Remove kueh ku from steamer and brush lightly with corn oil to prevent sticking. Cover with banana leaves to keep them soft.

Hope you enjoy trying at home :)
