Mua Chee

This is one of the snacks that I love when I was back in Penang. Mua Chee is not as common anymore, but there's definitely one in Gurney Drive which is quite tasty, but a bit more expensive.

I saw this recipe while browsing Kitchen Capers. It is a simple and quick, that I can't resist trying it.

Mua Chee
Ingredients:
250g glutinous rice flour
375ml water
2 tbsp oil
250g peanuts
50g castor sugar

Methods:
1. Roast the peanuts, without oil, on low fire until fragrant. Becareful, peanuts can get burnt rather easily. An alternative will be to roast the peanuts in the oven.
2. Remove skin. Grind the peanuts till fine.
3. Add castor sugar to the peanuts and mix well.
4. Mix flour, water and oil. Stir until smooth, the mixture will be like a batter mix.
5. Pour into a Pyrex bowl and microwave on high for 7 minutes.
6. Cut a portion of the mua chee and put in the peanuts mixture. Cut into small pieces using a kitchen scissors. Toss the mua chee in the mixture and coat well.
7. Serve immediately.

Because of the chopper that I'm using, I couldn't grind the peanuts any finer. The mua chee is really good....all of us said that it tasted exactly like those back home. Yummy....!!!
