Sweet Potatoes Kueh by Chai Mei Hong


The kueh making part

350g Sweet potato flour
437g water
Pinch of salt

Method

1. Divide water into 2 portions.
a) 291g (2/3 of 437g) ~ To mix with flour
b) 146g (1/3 of 437g) ~ To mix with salt n heat over stove top

2. In a mixing bowl, mix (1a-291g water) with the sweet potato flour. Keep stirring to prevent the flour from becoming gluey and stick to the bottom.

3. In a saucepan add (1b-146g water) with salt together. Keeping the fire on low, gently heat up the water.

4. Sieve the mixture in Step 2 to another bowl to remove any lumps. ( I'm using my stand mixer)

5. once the saucepan of water has been gently heated, I removed it from the stove. Scoop a small laddle of mixture in Step 2 and add it in Step 3, stirring constantly.

6. Pour Step 5 into Step 2 , stirring constantly to ensure evenly mix.

7. Pour the semi-cooked mixture into a stainless steel pan (I oiled my pan). Steam over medium heat for 1 hour. ( I steamed in medium high heat with a foil covering the pan to prevent water from dripping to the kueh)

8. Insert a skewer to the centre of the kueh to test whether it has set. Cool completely and refrigerate for at least 12 hour or overnight.

9. Cut into small rectangular shape with a thickness of abt 0.5 mm. Set aside for frying.
