Glutinous Rice Kueh (饭馃） 

(Recipe adapted & modify slightly from Fong's Kitchen)   

Ingredients:
Dough skin
160g rice flour
60g tapioca starch
300ml boiling water
1/2 tsp salt
One drop of Wilton red colouring 

Method:

1. Mix rice flour, tapioca starch & salt in a bowl.

2. Mix food colouring into the hot water.  Pour this hot mixture into the flour mixture & stir with a pair of chopsticks.  Let the dough rest for abt 10mins, covered.

3. Turn out the dough (it is still warm) & knead briefly till smooth. 

4. Divide the dough into 12 portions.  Take a portion of dough, flatten to a round disc & place 1-2 heaped Tbsp of glutinous rice filling at the middle.  Fold up & pinch the sides to seal the dough.  Press well into a lightly floured rice kueh mould.  Give a gentle knock at the side of the mould to release the kueh.

5. Place the rice kueh on a lightly-oiled steam plate.  Steam over high heat for 10mins.
