10-minute Muah Chee
Ingredients
- 100 g glutinous rice flour $0.30
- 135 ml water
- 2 tsp oil $0.078
- 50 g sugared peanut powder $0.35
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine glutinous rice flour and water into a smooth batter. Add oil and mix well.
- Place bowl into microwave oven and cook for 2 minutes. Remove bowl and mix dough well. Return bowl back to microwave oven and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove bowl and knead dough using silicone spatula for about 1-2 minutes to get a chewier texture.Note 1: Cooking times may differ according to amount of muah chee you're making. If you're making less than the recipe calls for, please reduce cooking time. Similarly, if you're making double the recipe, cooking time will also increase.Note 2: This recipe is based on a 1000W microwave oven. Cooking time will may differ according to the wattage of your microwave oven. For a 1000W microwave oven, microwaving for a total of 4 minutes gave me a consistency that is similar to what you get when you buy outside. You can microwave for 3 minutes and 30 seconds if you prefer a softer texture (I personally prefer softer muah chee). If your microwave oven is less than 1000W, you may or may not have to reduce cooking time. If your microwave oven is more than 1000W, you can microwave your muah chee for a total of 3 minutes first and check its consistency. If needed, you can microwave for another 30 seconds again.Note 3: If you prefer not to use the microwave, you can add the batter to a frypan and fry for 3-4 minutes until it is cooked through.
- Add sugared peanut powder into a bowl. Add muah chee dough into bowl with peanut powder in batches. Coat muah chee with peanut powder, then cut muah chee into smaller pieces. Coat muah chee fully with peanut powder. Repeat for the rest of the muah chee dough.Note: Do not leave muah chee exposed to air for too long before coating in peanut powder otherwise it will turn dry.
