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.




Recipe Source: Joceline

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

Cecilia, the tray that you used on the 1st photo has become like an "antique" now. My mum used to have one, much bigger than this but after moving house, I don't know whether she is still keeping with her. By the way, love your purple AKK! I have also marked down in my list for a long time but still haven't taken action.
