Dairy-Free Muah Chee with Peanut Sugar
A classic Singaporean snack of chewy glutinous rice dough coated in a mixture of crushed peanuts and sugar. Coconut oil provides essential moisture, replacing dairy fats.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Glutinous Rice Flour
- 3/4 cup Water
- 1 tbsp Coconut Oil(replaces Butter)
- 1 cup Peanuts
- 1/2 cup Sugar
Instructions
- 1Place 1 cup of peanuts in a dry, medium skillet over medium heat (350°F / 175°C). Toast for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until the peanuts are fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, then grind them into a coarse powder and mix with the 1/2 cup of sugar in a small bowl.
- 2In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of glutinous rice flour and 3/4 cup of water. Stir with a spoon until no dry flour remains.
- 3Microwave the bowl on high power for 1 minute. Carefully remove the bowl and stir the mixture well. Microwave for another 30 seconds, stir again, and repeat this process of microwaving for 30 seconds and stirring until the dough is cooked through and has a translucent appearance, about 3-5 more minutes total.
- 4Add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to the cooked dough in the bowl. Stir vigorously until the coconut oil is fully incorporated and the dough is smooth.
- 5Lightly oil a pair of scissors or a knife. Cut the sticky dough into small, bite-sized pieces directly over the bowl containing the peanut sugar mixture.
- 6Toss the cut dough pieces generously in the peanut sugar mixture until each piece is well coated. Serve immediately.
