Muah Chee

After I know that Muah Chee is actually very easy to make, I wanted to try it! The most common way should be panfrying the batter on a non-stick pan but I shall take the easier way out- Microwaving!

1st Attempt

120g Glutinous rice flour

180g water

2 tbsp oil

2 packets Macdonald's sugar

Grounded peanut

I took reference from Twice as Delicious. Similarly, I used 120g glutinous rice flour, 180g water and 2 tablespoon of oil to make the mixture. After stirring the batter until evenly mixed in a glass container, I left it in the microwave, mid-low, for 3 minutes. The outcome was a lump of white stuff, boing boing. However, I found it too soft and I can't cut into pieces properly. I stirred it together with the sugar and peanut chunks. For the sugar, I had breakfast at Macs so sun bian la :P. The original muah chee uses powdered peanut but I bought the wrong one. As the peanut pieces are too big, it doesn't fully cover the white spaces. The muah chee got slightly harder after it cooled down but it was still nice.

2nd Attempt

120g Glutinous rice flour
120g water
2 tbsp oil
2.5 packets Macdonald's sugar
Grounded peanut

I considered my first attempt as failed because I really don't like my muah chee being too soft. Hence, I googled for the answer and found out that 1:1 flour water ratio is recommended. 1:3/4 is the recommended flour water ratio for a more chewy texture. I decided to try the 1:1 ratio first. After microwaving, it looked rather dry on the surface but it was more elastic when I poke poke it. The taste is just nice for me, chewy but not so hard. I don't have to try the other ratio anymore as it would probably be too chewy for the teeth.

By the way, I used grounded peanut instead of peanut powder because my mum bought that instead. The result is that your teeth will get tired from all the biting and chewing of the chunks of peanut. However, having some texture is good and you may want to mix the powdered [you can grind the chunks or something] and grounded forms together. The packaging of the grounded peanut states that it is good for muah chee though. 

Enjoy!

Update: Tried pounding the peanut chunks in a bowl with a glass bottle (hahaha my genius mum). The result taste the same. I guess powdered peanut would be better afterall.
