Purple Sweet Potato Ang Ku Kueh

My family love to eat Ang Ku Kueh. This time I am using Mung Bean Paste instead of Peanut Paste. Overall I still prefer the Mung Bean Paste. I love the colour of these Purple Sweet Potato and the colour turn out vibrant after steaming. Am keeping some for prayer tomorrow. I liked the texture of this AKK too and mum said it taste much better than those she bought from the market. Guess I will be busy making this AKK whenever there is prayer occassion.

糕皮：

紫番薯泥 - 200克
细砂糖 - 2汤匙
清水 - 250克（注意番薯泥的湿度慢慢加入）
糯米粉 - 400克
食油 - 2汤匙


重量：皮 - 25 / 馅料 - 15（大约）

馅料：

扁豆（dried mung bean） 300克、黄砂糖 180克、香葱 3汤匙、油（少许）

馅料做法：

* 把豆冲洗干净，然后用清水浸泡数个小时或隔夜。

* 把水滤干，然后蒸上30分钟或扁豆软烂。（可以用扁形汤匙把豆压烂或用搅拌机打烂）

* 锅里加入少许的油，把豆加入。再加入适量的糖炒溶。再拌入适量的油炸香葱。

* 如果太过干，需要的话，可以加入少许的清水炒拌。

* 豆蓉待凉后，取出平均揉成每份约15克搓圆备用

综合做法：

1）把所有的糕皮的材料（除了水）放入容器里。搅拌均匀。
2）慢慢加入清水，将材料搓成面团。大约搓5分钟至面团有点弹性便可。
3）把面团平均分割。搓成圆形，压扁后包入豆蓉馅后再搓圆放入涂上少许糯米粉的模型里印出形状。把糕放在一小片涂上少许油的香蕉叶上。
4）蒸锅水滚后，大火把糕放入蒸3分钟。然后立刻开盖把锅盖的水蒸气的水滴干或抹干。再快速把盖关上，再继续蒸3-4分钟。

这样出来的红龟糕花纹就会好看了。
5）蒸好后，在糕的表层涂上少许的食油（玉米油）便可
