MAKING MUACHI 麻糬




My Aunt Linda loves eating Mua Chi but I don't.  I don't like it being so soft and also I am allergic to the grounded nuts.  This is actually a traditional Chinese snack which existed a long time ago.
Here is a recipe for making Mua Chi that I found from the Internet.

Mua Chi
Ingredients: Groundnuts
- 400g peanuts
- tablespoons of granulated sugar (add more if you want it sweeter)
- 2 tbsp sesame seed

Method:
1. Bake peanuts in the oven until brown. Remove the skin.
2. Chop them up using a chopping board or a food processor.
3. Mix sugar and sesame seed together in the chopped nuts.

You can also use a mixture of black and white sesame seeds in the nuts mixture. For more "English" style of Mua Chi, you can add some oats\wheat germ and baked sunflower seeds in the nut mixture.

Ingredients: Mua Chi
- 250g glutinous rice flour (tepung pulut)
- 1 1/2 cup of water
- 2 tbsp of vegetable oil
- a pinch of salt

Method:
1. Mix the flour with water, salt and oil evenly.
2. Steam the dough for about 30 minutes. And let cool.
3. Use a scissors to cut them out into small cubes and mix them in the nuts mixture.
