I remembered when I was still a little girl , my Teochew grandma's sister would make some muah chee for the eve of Chinese New Year and offer us some to eat after the reunion dinner at my grandparents house. Since they had passed on , we missed her muah chee and I am glad to be able to make the muah chee at home to remember her and pay tribute to her cooking. We missed our grandma a lot and her cooking.
Muah Chee
Ingredients : -
1 cup glutinous rice flour
1 tsp sugar
pinch of salt
4 tbsps corn oil + 2 minced shallots - fried & take the shallot oil {2 tbsps}
3/4 cup water
Ingredients for toppings for muah chee :-
1 cup toasted grounded peanuts
1/2 cup icing sugar
5 tbsps toasted sesame seeds
Method : -
First chopped the shallots and then fry the shallots in the heated wok till fragrant . Set aside the shallot oil. Then measure the glutinous rice flour , add the pinch of salt . Add the water gradually and stir till mixed well . Then add the 2 tbsps of shallot oil into the mixture & stir well with a spoon.
Heat up the water in a steamer on high heat . Put the mixture in a oiled plate and steam on medium high heat for about 20 minutes. When it is done , use a chopstick to stir the muah chee dough gently at one direction to get a nice texture.
Use a pair of scissors to cut the dough into small pieces and dip it in the bowl of toasted grounded peanuts, icing sugar & toasted sesame seeds.
