Teochew Glutinous Rice Kueh 潮州饭桃

I have seen this kueh in Jane and Helena blog many times as their Ah Mah (grandmother) is good in making this kueh. I have not tried this Teochew kueh before until the other day i saw this kueh selling in the morning market, quickly buy one and try it. This is my kind of kueh, because i like to eat glutinous rice and i prefer savoury kueh more than sweet kueh..

I did not follow to Jane' s filling recipe, i was using my regular steamed glutinous rice recipe and i prefer the filling look white (like than one i bought) than darker colour..this time i did not add meat also..

This is the dough, smooth and easy to handle

I made the filling into ball shape using cling film, easy to handle when wrap it with the dough later..

As for the dough, I followed to Sherleen's recipe after she has made amendment from Jane' recipe (due to water and oil amount)..And I also add sugar instead of salt in the dough, i prefer sweet skin and savoury filling, to balance the taste..

see the inside..

The skin is slightly chewy if compare to Ang Ku Kueh skin..

Updated on 8th May- This kueh turned quite hard once completely cooled down, I am not sure it was due to i added sugar to the dough or should i reduce tapioca flour, will find out when i make this again. Anyway, you can just steam it again and it will turn soft, after steamed, pan fry it and it taste much better.
