Sweeet Potato....Ang Koo Kueh

Always wanted to try out this recipe on my own but always doesn't have the opportunity. Since someone's BUTTDAY (actually i made this late month, my blog can call 'tan ku ku' liao :p ) is around the corner & i've found the recipe so i've decided to give 'IT' a try. It turn out to be quite gooood...... who says ang koo is difficult to make?

Skin ingredients:

• 250g of glutinous rice flour
• 220g orange sweet potato
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 tablespoon salt
• 100ml hot boiling water
• 10 teaspoon of shallot oil (stir fry the shallots with oil till golden brown & drain it)
• dash of orange coloring

Methods:

• clean the sweet potatoes & steam until soft
• peel of the skin & discard any fiber (if any)
• blend the skinned potatoes, glutinous rice flour, sugar & salt until it turns into crumbs
• add oil, coloring, water (add in the water slowly) until it turns to dough form & soft
• remove from the blender & knead the dough until smooth
• shape the skin into larger ball then the filling
  
  
  

  Filling:

• 200 skinned green beans (soak for approx. 1 hours)
• 50g of sugar (adjust according to taste)
• 2 teaspoon of salt (adjust according to taste)
• 3 teaspoon of cooking
• 3 teaspoon of shallot oil

Methods:

• steam the green beans over high heat for 20mins till soft
• remove the green beans while still hot
• place it in a processer with sugar, salt & shallot oil
• process/blend till the filling binds together (pls do taste the filling, i prefered salty flavour , so i add in more salt)
• Shape into smaller balls

How to combine both of the ingredients:

• flatten the skin, place the filling in center & cover the filling & seal
• press the filled koo into mould to shape & knock out the koo (dust some flour onto the mould)
• place the koo on a greased banana leaves
• brush 'it' with oil/shallot oil & trim the banana leaves
• steam the koo for around 8-10mins over medium heat
