A lot of great kueh recipes appear in blogger friends
posts. Their kueh photos make my heart “itchy”(心痒痒). In order to cure my “itchy”
heart and hands I choose this very simple muah chee. All I need is just stir
everything together and steam the batter.
The last time I ate muah chee is during Mid-Autumn
Festival. I bought it from a muah chee stall who sold different variety of
flavour and definitely colours. I tried on durian, strawberry and mango. Hm…the
flavour of the muah chee is very artificial. I think nothing better than
homemade stuff. I added purple sweet potatoes into the muah chee batter.
Although can’t taste the sweet potatoes, it brighten the original white muah
chee. This purple muah chee is slightly firmer but still soft to chew.

120g glutinous rice flour
2 tsp sugar

circular motion till all the flour mixture is completed dissolved. (I stir with
a wooden spoon)

plate). Steam at medium heat for about 20 minutes. Test the centre to ensure it
is cooked through. Brush the surface with vegetable oil and leave to cool.
