Here is a simple recipe for steamed rice pudding (chwee kuih) to those new kakis or students who are feeling homesick and want a taste of hawker's food.



You need:

Rice pudding:
1 cup rice long grain rice powder.
3 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt

Accompaniment:

2 tablespoons oil




Method:



1. Chop onion finely.
















2. Chop pickled raddish finely.


















3. Mix rice powder with water. Pour mixture into pan and stir continually for 3 minutes over low heat. Stir continually so that rice paste won't stick to pan and burn.

  11. Hi Sharon,
    You have to keep stiring the rice mixture over low heat and make sure that the mixture turns paste-like before placing them in the cup and steamed. Hope you enjoy your own homemade chwee kuih.
    Cheers.
