Mua Chi (Glutinous Rice Flour & Sesame Peanut Kuih)

Since my last blog on Tang Yuan, I have been so busy baking CNY cookies to meet orders and during Chinese New Year there were many orders for "Yee Sang". We Visited Kelantan and Penang during Chinese New Year. Celebrated my daughter's birthday on 18th Feb. On 22nd March hosted our HHH run and on 25th March just celebrated my youngest son birthday. We served Mua Chi as one of the desserts because there is a lot of roasted peanuts and sesame left over from "Yee Sang". Mua Chi is famous in Penang and it is a street hawker's favorite that is liked by everyone. It is so simple to prepare at home.








Dry-fry peanuts in a wok till roasted and skinned. Put peanuts into a food processor and blend coarsely. Dry-fry sesame seeds until golden in color. Combine the peanut a blend sesame with castor sugar and set aside.










In a large mixing bowl, mix 250g of glutinous rice flour with 300ml cold water and 1 tablespoon of oil. Pour batter into a lightly greased tray. Steam over high heat for about 30 minutes or till cooked. Leave to cool.


Using a plastic spatula to cut Mua Chi into bite-sized pieces. Coat them with the sesame peanut mixture and then place Mua Chi into individual serving plates and serve immediately.
