This is traditional Chinese Hakka goodies which eaten during any festive celebration. But it's now widely sell in many places as our local street food. The process of making this kind of goodies is very simple with just few ingredients and yet delicious. I used banana leaves as the base because it gives better fragrant. And I have the recipe as follow.Ingredients :
Starter Dough Ingredients
150gm all purpose flour
150gm all purpose flour
1 tspn yeast
150ml water
- mix all ingredients to form a soft dough.
- and leave for fermentation for over night or 10-12 hours.
Main Dough Ingredients
150gm flour
150gm flour
150gm glutinous rice flour
140gm sugar
140gm sugar
150gm water
colouring
Method :
- mix all ingredients and starter dough together to form a soft dough.
- leave for fermentation for another 4 hours.
- then roughly stir in 1-1/2tbsp corn oil/olive oil.
- divide dough into 14 portion (by using an ice-cream scoop & then roll into round shape)and place it to the banana leaves.
- and leave for another proof for 20-30mins.
- then steam for 15min over high heat.
The best thing about this goodies is the texture that is so nice & soft even after a day or two without chilling.

Hi,
Thanks for posting the recipe. Like my mum used to make. She used to make sweet and salty version. Wished I had written her recipe down and watch her how it was made. Now she is not here, it is difficult to find traditional desserts and snacks. None of my cousin can make them. By the way, what is All-purpose flour? Is it plain flour?
Rose
Hi Rose, thank you very much for visiting. I am very sorry about your mom. Hopefully, this will bring you back some sweet memories of her. And yes, all purpose flour is those common plain flour we used everyday. Hope you will like it and have fun!
Blessings, Kristy
