Muah Chee

Muah Chee is a favorite snack of many, and for as long as I can remember it is our childhood snack.  With few simple steps many home cooks are now making it in the comfort of their home kitchen to enjoy with the whole family.

Ingredients:
120g. glutinous rice flour (sifted)
150ml. water
2 tbsp. cooking oil

Coating:
200g. peanuts (cooked and skin removed)
100g. sugar

Methods:

1. In a bowl, add glutinous rice flour, water and cooking oil.  Mix well using a spatula.
2. Pour the mixture into a lightly oiled ceramic dish.
3. Steam for 20 minutes.  Remove from steamer.
4. For the coating ingredients, add the peanuts and sugar into the miller grinder, grind until the peanuts are almost fine, but not into powdery form.  Pour the peanut mixture into a deep plate.
5. To coat the muah chee, I use a spoon to scoop out the cooked dough, place into the plate with the peanuts mixture, one hand use a scissor to cut the dough into bite-sized pieces, another hand use a spoon to roll the dough into the peanut mixture until well coated and place them aside.  Repeat until all the dough is finished, and serve immediately.

Notes:

1. For the peanuts and sugar mixture, I will not add all at one time to coat the muah chee, but will add again when more is needed.  This is because any leftover peanuts and sugar mixture can still be used, if we are making another batch or if we are not eating them all at one particular time.  Whatever leftover (in case there is) after coating will be discarded.
2. For my case, we are only serving for 2 person at any one time, so I will cut and roll the muah chee with the peanuts according to the amount we want to eat.  If you are serving all at the same time, then you can make all at one go.

I adapted this recipe from YouTube by Candice Ming, with a slight amendment to suit my liking.
