Hakka Cai Kueh

Here is my first time tried Hakka Cai Kueh... Since young like to eat this kueh, but always don't want learn and lazy to learn. When I was a child, grandma, mothers, aunties always like to gather themselves to do this kueh... of course we enjoy it very much cause can eat as much as we can and can play with my cousins... It's a really good memory, if my brother, sister and cousins read this, they must be agreed me.

Since I was in St. Louis, I was missing my hometown food and try as much as i can to do it myself. Just like last night, i really want to have a try on the Cai Kueh. It's was surprisingly that I can do it myself and the kueh shape still able to cope with mother...haha...when at home, I will never able to this, maybe no one can help me while my husband only know to eat. So, it force me to do it.

The result bit disappointed cause kueh skin is too hard... :( and some is break. I had called home to ask mother what the reason... haha... mom told me that i didn't add Tapioca flour... i only use rice flour and a bit corn flour which is wrong... that's why the skin is not soft.

Anyway, I think i would like to try again when my mood come again...haha.. Keep u all update!

Ingredients 1 Yam 150g dried prawns 10 pcs Shiite mushroom 1 tablespoon minced garlic 2 1/2 rice bowls rice flour 1/2 rice bowls sweet potato flour 6 rice bowls water 2 teaspoon five-spice powder 1 1/2 teaspoon salt Method To make the wu tau koh, it is best to use shredded yam instead of cubed ones. Begins the process by removing the skin of the yam with a big, sharp-bladed vegetable peeler. Then cut the yam in half. Slide the halves across a vegetable shredder in smooth, singular movements to produce neat, unbroken strands of yam. These strands of yam will “hold” the structure of the wu tau koh and give it texture. Next, pound dried prawns. Stir fry all that shredded yam, Shiite mushroom and dried prawns in a fair amount of oil and two tablespoon of minced garlic. Toss the ingredients in a big wok for 15 minutes or until the heavenly smell of a fragrant stir-fry has wafted around the entire kitchen. Meanwhile, as the stir-frying is under way, mix three rice bowls of rice flour with s
