Sesame Kueh 芝麻粄

This recipe was adapted from a new cookbook that I bought recently. The best thing of this kueh is you don't need a mould to make it.

The whole kueh is coating with toasted sesame seeds, full of sesame seeds aroma

As usual, I cooked red bean paste using the cooked red bean from red bean dessert soup (just add sugar to cook till thicken) ..

 

I found the dough is a bit dry when shaping with red bean paste..but it is ok after cooked as the whole kueh will cover by toasted sesame seeds..
