Honestly, I have never heard of this '
kuih sepang kukus' (dumpling sepang) nor seen it before in my life. It also called as '
kuih basah' (wet dumpling) as it is steamed. I came across this kuih from an oldie magazine of a friend. As it mentioned, '
kuih sepang kukus' is originated from
Negeri Sembilan and its customary to serve it at the bride's house on the wedding night. There's actually a place in
Negeri Sembilan called
Sepang where its located just nearby the KLIA airport..... also near to hubby's home. However, I'm glad I finally have the chance to give this a go and introducing this special dessert to my readers.
It was quite exciting while waiting for something new to come out from the steamer! >o<
Ingredients for
dumpling skin :
100gm glutinous rice flour
pinch of salt
100ml warm water
(combine everything to form a soft dough then divide into 10 portions)
Ingredients for
coconut filling :
1 cup grated young coconut
50gm gula melaka / jaggery sugar
40gm white sugar
salt to taste
1 tspn tapioca starch
60ml water
(combine everything then cook over medium heat till thickened, set aside to cool)
*1 cup thick coconut milk + pinch of salt
* pandanus leaf, washed
TO ASSEMBLE
(1) press to flatten dumpling skin into round shape between a plastic sheet which is much easier, place in the coconut filling then nicely sealed.
(2) place stuffed dumpling to tray then add in pandanus leaf & 1/2 cup coconut milk mixture.
(3) steamed for 10-15 minutes over high heat or till cooked. Serve hot once its done by adding in the remaining coconut milk mixture.
Oooo..... my first bite on the '
kuih sepang kukus' !
Slurpppp.... The texture is
very smooth & springy and it goes really well with the coconut filling. It is something quite similar to the Korean dessert called
songpyeon. Of course, this '
kuih sepang kukus' best to serve it hot or warm together with the coconut milk gravy. Pretty addictive ! Hope you guys will like it too. Enjoy !
